content: Quote from: Simon on August 31, 2010, 04:59:49 amVery true! I can't begin to tell you how much it annoys/angers me with students taking pointless degrees just because there fashionable at the time. "Media", "Art" and wishy washy business subjects just to name a few. I could rant on this for a very long time...

content: Quote from: David on August 31, 2010, 09:22:20 amThe same can be said for electronics engineering. IME the majority of the students don't give a shit about the industry, don't learn anything of worth, and often don't go onto anything related to engineering at all.They just did it because their patents wanted them too, their friends did it, or they couldn't think of anything else better to do etc.Yes, call me cynical...Dave.
