Why I Chose Engineering
by Bill Schaeffer
One afternoon during my Senior year my mother came to me and said, "If you do not study Science or Engineering in college, we are not going to pay for your college. And if you don't go to college, we are going to take all the money we would have spent and take the rest of the family on vacation to Hawaii; and leave you at home."
If you really think about that statement for a moment and all it implies, you cannot really blame me for choosing to study Engineering; just to get out of that house.
I also chose Engineering because I wouldn't have to study a foreign language.
Although Engineering is a valuable and honorable profession, I never had any interest in the material. None.
I actually didn't even want to go to college. I wanted to take a year off and work and travel.
Thanks Ma.
