"With my engineering degree I learned how to break down a problem to it's fundamental pieces, explore solutions, and evaluate these solutions in a rigorous way, and to keep working the problem even when it gets tough. A degree in engineering is a degree in problem solving. I think this will be invaluable wherever I end up in my future career - it certainly has been in the positions I have held and in the continuation of my schooling so far. I think these are larger life skills as well. Since overall life will almost definitely contain it's fair share of problems that crop up, it's important to have a rigorous framework for approaching them, as well as the stamina for meeting those challenges fully."
