ipsoFACTo my friend! It's not the fact that its 'engineers' doing the subject anylonger but students with the sole intent on going into the city want a degree that will deliver the goods. Just about any plonker can go to uni and get a degree nowadays, and many who graduate lack some very basic skills (as often reported in the press), so those wanting to achieve the best are choosing degrees in engineering etc... Half my friends on the course wont be engineers, they'll be off to Morgan Stanley, Lloyds, PWC and straight into middle management!! Engineering isnt just for the geeks!
Anyway this digresses from the thread topic.
As said by many here,
Do a degree you enjoy. (Even some of the city wanabes actually enjoy aero eng!
)
