I have attended 2 recruitment talks recently. Both talks are on banking, Citibank and Barclay Capitals. Now there is a trend of engineering graduates going into the finance and banking sector. So as expected, the talks managed to attract students from different schools (including Biological Sciences), resulting a full house in LT19A and MLT. (MLT is the biggest LT in NTU) So can you imagine how many students attending the talks?

People say engineering is boring, so they go for banking and management. Such a good reason. Why can't they just admit that they go for the PAY? Come on, this is a real world, so you need money to make the globe moving. That will be the only reason for me to give up my 4 years' engineering hardwork and jump into a totally new world. (Provided the pay must be at least 30% higher than the pay for engineering jobs)

Anyway, I am not really interested with the banks. I went to the talks for the purpose of gaining more knowledge on the sector. Frankly I am quite conservative. I feel scared to enter a new field without strong foundation. (Even though I have Minor in Business, I still do not know how to apply the knowledge). I always think the techinal knowledge is my competitive advantage, then why should I give it up?

So I want to be Engineer.
