Personally, I don't like to be a part of this kind of discussion either. However, after reading how you have tried to belittle the engineering profession, I couldn't help. 

I don't want to argue that Engineering majors are better than finance major. But, how could you not appreciate the fact that the one who has the direct and positive impact in our everyday lives are engineers and not finance experts. 

You also mentioned that engineers are work horses and you guys are the one to manage them. The last time I checked, engineers never have to deal with the people at finance. Engineers sure have to deal with administration, but I think there is a difference between administrators and finance experts (please correct me if I am wrong). Most of the administrators with whom engineers have to directly deal are also engineers not Finance PhDs. So don't brag like all the engineers in your field are your subordinates.

You also mentioned that the Universities tend to admit the least amount of Finance majors and the highest amount of engineering majors. That is true. However, that doesn't necessarily means like you guys are elites and engineers are dumb and stupid ( how could you even say that word? You said you were out of line on that but it just reflects your lack of intellect). The truth is College of Engineering has the most funding sources and they can afford to have more students and Finance does not. 

Now, on the topics of who is smarter and who has the most mathematical and analytical skills, it depends on your speciality. I do not doubt that Economist and Financial experts have good mathematical and analytical skills. Engineering is definitely applied field, that doesn't mean we lack the analytical skills. An average engineer has more analytical and mathematical skills than any economist or financial experts (pardon my inability to find a single word for financial majors).

Pire, the whole point here is you need to respect others profession. You definitely are an expert in your field but not in ours and vice versa. Neither of us are dispensable and the most important fact is you don't control engineers. 

You definitely need to take a course in ethics, and no its not only for Anthropologist majors. We engineers have the highest regard for safety and ethical principles and wish you finance people did the same. 

For your kind information I am also pursuing my PhD in Engineering and thinking about getting some expertise in the finance field ( I don't hate you).
