Actually he gets the "engineering" thing right.

I'm a chemical engineer (MS) and after 17 years on the job I ultimately came to the conclusion that earning a degree in engineering is the functional equivalent of buying your way into slavery. Didn't meet any practicing engineers who disagreed with the analysis either.

Whenever I meet a bright young teenager who expresses an interest in entering the profession I do everything in my power to talk him or her out of it.
