Madness!!!! I can just see a board designer,
saying "the next job is doing a bridge". get real.
Well reality passed the snots by a long time ago.

You'll find that once you get past a
certain level, there isn't actually
much difference between engineering
disciplines. It is basically
mathematics.

Many can adapt to the mathematics of different fields, but designing an
electronic board and designing a bridge are miles apart, irrespective of
sums.

The point is that equipped with the educational backgound, it is
possible for an individual to embark on a career doing either and to
adapt to doing completely new things. Since the core of what is
required is the same, and many of the thought processes, it is
perfectly possible.



Obviously, there is a certain amount of specialisation into fields,
but this is only about 20-30% of the game. About 70-80% is identical
between
disciplines.

What planet are you on?

One that understands the enduring nature of education based on how to
think, I would imagine.
