@MaxG-jk8ty I have a degree in mathematics and worked in engineering for over thirty years and have very rarely used anything that I learned in engineering much less my math classes. I know this varies with the job, but it is a common sentiment shared by coworkers and former classmates. I am very confident that I could have handled my first engineering job straight out of high school and learned anything that I needed from a book as needed. This was before the www. I worked on rocket control if it makes a difference. Everything is now mostly plugging numbers into and tweaking matlab scripts. Most of engineering is grunt work. And if you are not on track for a phd, IMO most of what you learn for a BS is a waste. I do not regret the time spent on learning the things that I have, in fact most are still of personal interest and applicable to my hobbies.
