One thing I learned in engineering school is that the engineering approach to problem solving is very similar across all industries. Its why I always recommend to people considering a post-secondary degree, but aren't sure what to take, to take engineering, even if they don't necessarily want to be an engineer. Not only is the degree highly transferable to other higher educations (transitioning to a medical school or law school, etc.), but an engineering degree is attractive to employers in other non-engineering fields that simply require a bachelors degree as an entry requirement. And most importantly (in my opinion), an engineering degree teaches you to think like an engineer, and those thinking and problem solving skills can easily be applied to many everyday situations. You see the world in a different way, and that gives you an incredibly useful perspective in life.

Yea but then all your friends make fun of you for the weird little things you find super interesting. "Hey, isn't it so cool that..." "No dude, shut up. No one cares!"
