In fairness, when students are graduating with tens of thousands of dollars of debt being able to earn a good living isn’t an unreasonable desire.

Understand. It’s pretty clear that new graduates often have way too much debt.

I went to a very large school, so the Engineering people had their own college, and the physics people were in the large science and humanities college (where it belongs.)

The school I referenced in my post just struck a nerve with me, though. Really, the physics people, if not big enough to be their own department, ought to be just lumped in with the chemists and the rest of the scientists. All science is fundamentally the same as far as an academic field. Then the college in question can just start a new department called “Engineering”, so people who want to be engineers can get engineering degrees.
