Engineering jobs

Althou i have no plans of going into the finance industry, I have to disagree that going into finance would mean a waste of an engineering degree. What is the use of an engineering degree? Technical knowledge? Yes that gives you an edge over people without technical knowledge, but engineering is, and always have been about problem solving. This is something that is applicable in every single industry. 

Don't limit your options to what you think might be best for you. Open up yourself to all available options, then pick the best one available.
