I think one problem we've had is that people who are smart and creative and innovative as engineers went into financial engineering.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems.
There is one thing Anthony Weiner and I agree on: there are a lot of smart, hard-working people in the financial industry.
When people have their own money at stake, it's a lot easier to find and settle on practical, no-nonsense solutions to engineering problems than is ever the case in the complex and endless deliberations of a government bureaucracy.
More than ever, the world needs good engineers. However, the pool of talent is shrinking not growing.
Engineering stimulates the mind.
I kind of think of engineering like the chefs at a restaurant. Nobody's going to deny chefs are integrally important, but there's also so many other people who contribute to a great meal.
As engineers, we were going to be in a position to change the world - not just study it.
Engineering stimulates the mind. Kids get bored easily. They have got to get out and get their hands dirty: make things, dismantle things, fix things. When the schools can offer that, you'll have an engineer for life.
I think people are realizing that engineering and science are extremely good degrees to get and you'll be very highly paid once you've got them.
It's shocking we don't see more engineers and entrepreneurs interested in enterprise.
