That's true. Consultants and bankers are also overpaid worker bees.

Edit: but at least they report to other consultants and bankers.

I graduated from Harvard, and like chris_b said with Yale, a not insignificant number of people went into some sort of engineering. It's not the plurality career choice, but it's not like the field is some sort of pariah at Ivy League schools.

Because Ivy -> high social status

engineering -> relatively low social status
