I did not follow any advising, I just looked up the curriculum and went with it. I'd rather get the information I need FROM THE SOURCE and not some Gen Ed lackey who barely knows how the Engineering Program works.
Apparently when I was going for the Associates, the people that went with the gen ed advisers were tricked into Engineering Technology which is NOT an engineering program but a technician program.

Depends on the program.

Engineering and businesses, push for internships. The supply chain program even has field trips so that the students can see where what they learn is applied.

The arts, openly tell the students to avoid career fairs. the students even listen. They even host events during the career fairs to prevent their students from attending, because once they do, 80% of them drop their major.

The 80% number, comes from the statistics department.

The biggest bane on the american education system, is the arts, and gen eds.

Of course I looked into it before choosing a major. There are plenty of subjects I enjoy, such as history, that you'll never get a good paying job with a degree in that field. Only idiots don't consider their job prospects when choosing a major.
