Engineering as a Metaphor for Life and Business

Prof. Schwartz has addressed students at Manhattan College who are considering engineering as a career and highlights not only the strong critical thinking foundation that engineering school builds (and the dynamic job opportunities) but the payoff of working hard and getting used to making mistakes. Employers (including financial services firms and departments) hire engineers for their Math and technical abilities including persistence, humility, teamwork and frustration tolerance. This enables people to optimize their potential and gain financial independence.
