How important is BS in engineering?

[bradlelf]

The company I work for is full of people that the only thing they can do is BS(bull shit) their way around, So BS is important in engineering, I guess.

That's what I thought this post was going to be about ... ... but I was wrong.

No, you are not. There are thousands of "engineers" out there, with degrees from Come and Get It College, that know a jack about engineering so they BS their way. They learn how to talk, even taking Toast Masters classes, and that takes them as far as manager positions. I mean, it does not matter if they do not know the difference between a TV and a microwave oven as long as they can BS their way up.

You know the old saying ... "Those who can't do, review"

Your first year of college aren't you just taking prereqs anyway? I didnt even declare or take an engineering course until 2nd semester soph year anyway. I dont see how you can be that far behind that you cant choose engineering.

Now is the time to switch! Some masters programs wont even accept you unless you have a bachelors in that same field.
