Joe,

No one I talked to or know, graduated engineering saying they loved it. The final two years are designed to let you know what it is like in the industry. This is what I said to a new grad once: "Having a degree shows that you are disciplined enough to go on and understand how to learn by yourself (excluding the copiers of course). The things you learn in school was only the cover of the book and employers don't expect you to go into a job knowing everything.

The degree is more of a way to show them that you managed to make the right decision to spread the right workload under extreme pressure.

Then of course you have the secret government research institutes that demands 99% on every subject in school.
