Why is engineering disliked so much in this country? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
In other countries it is liked as much as say medicine. In America so many engineers get great jobs every year.
In Australia, people rate simple arts degrees or say BEd better than engineering. Even law, commerce and even fashion designing etc are in demand. But enginnering courses that really involve mathematical brains is so much under-rated. No wonder our Australia is not actually a clever country but a rich country. Clever migrants come here and use their brains to fill up jobs requiring intellect.
Probably all those who actually love maths don't even go for engineering as they end up doing medicine or law (how weird). All they want is a job that gives more money. If Engineers start making as much money as doctors do, then all high UAI people will start going there.
That also means most people who do get admission into engineering courses (at least the ones requiring a UAI or 85 or less), are actually not so bright in maths and physics so they find it hard to cope up with. Engineering syllabus is meant for bright students but is often opted for by average students.
So.....are there students out there who got say top 99 plus UAI last year and the went for some engineering course? There are some engo courses requiring 99 or 98 or 95 ATAR. If so, please share your experiences as probably you are the ones who don't feel miserable for you love maths and physics for the love of it.
