Wisconsin’s College of letters and sciences didn’t even let you declare for a major until you’ve been there three semesters. I always kind of like that outlook.
College of Engineering is the same.

Graduate school is different, I think, that name matters more than undergraduate.  I think if one has a graduate degree, the name below that for the BS(a) is largely irrelevant.

Engineering is just different.

I don't care much to be honest, but I know my degree helped me early on.

Maybe I could opine a "professional degree from a top U" is a very good thing to show.

A history major from Harvard has what advantage over one from Ohio State if he's not going on in education?

A history major with nothing else has a basic college degree, which is fine, but they likely won't be working in that area.

We could simply not engage with that, and we would all probably be happier.

I know there are bachelors degrees that are essentially professional degrees (engineering is the most obvious to me), but most people do not work in their "field of study." The traditional point of a bachelor's degree is not to be a professional degree, but to show a level of competence evaluating and thinking through problems. It's training the mind, not teaching a specific skill. That is true of the hard sciences almost as much as it is true of the liberal arts.

I have a great deal of respect for engineers--two of my immediate family members are engineers--but studying the liberal arts has a long history of preparing people for successful careers.
