- No. Corporations demand the applicant have a BSEE, regardless of

- much like to see less emphasis on the BS as a sine qua non of
- employment. The only inconsistency would be if it was I who set

- a more rounded education, and I think that's the better way to
- fufill the corporate needs. (IMHO :>!!).
