>>3657672Clarey talks in a very positive light of that degree. He says it's the perfect example of universities adapting to real world needs and providing people prepared to solve real needs. And that it commands high salaries, among the highest from most engineers. I guess that you guys have to learn from subjects as disparate as geology, chemistry and so on, that's why since these skills are hard to find in the same person that degree was created.
On the other side, a good example he gives of degrees that look useful but aren't really so is environmental engineering. It is among the lowest paying engineering degrees and in a nutshell he says it's a meme caused by decades of propaganda instead of a real market need for special "environmental skills", whatever they may be.
He's a pretty woke guy overall. Many of his other works are also pretty great.
