(4.) Working so hard for your below-average grades, you will have very little free time. Besides, their salary will surpass your own in a few short years anyway. If pulling all-nighters and studying all weekend for 4 years is worth an extra $5000 for you for the first few years, then go right ahead. The difference is not worth it, believe me. You may start out at $60,000 while your friend in finance or marketing starts at $55,000 or even more. (3.) Your starting salary will not be all that different from anyone else's, and your salary down the line will likely be lower.
Meanwhile, you could have majored in finance, breezed through with a 3.5, and gone on to earn even more in after law/med/business school. The majority will be in the low 3's and 2's and will have no shot at law school, no shot at med school, and a minimal shot at business school. Sure some kids will pull through the program with a 3.5+, but these are already the best of the best. (2.) You will have a much harder time getting into graduate school with that low GPA mentioned above. This varies somewhat from school to school, but 95% of the time, you are working harder for no benefit, and in fact, against yourself (lower GPA) Believe me, in some classes you will struggle for just a passing C, while the same amount of work will easily get you an A or B in most other major's courses. Engineering seems to draw the smartest kids, for whatever reason, and you are directly competing against these kids for your grade, which will be on a curve. While you are competing against the best students who are already great at math for the maybe 20% of A's that engineering schools give, your buddy in literature or even business will be slacking off for an easy A, or maybe even, god forbid, a B. (1.) You will, I repeat, will work much harder than your non engineering peers for lower grades. Here are the main reasons (and believe me, there are many more) you should NOT choose a major in engineering. In short, you will be working twice as hard if not more, for worse grades, and for about, key word, the same starting pay.
I really feel like I've been tricked into engineering, so I'm here to warn some off that think majoring in engineering is a good idea.
