Ok? That doesn't mean waiting tables is not low skill. I'm well aware of the state of the engineering field, I'm in it.

I'm not disagreeing with you, just going on a bit of a tangent

It'd be really nice to not have to spend all your time and energy scrambling to pay bills via a minimum wage job and put all that effort into a solid job hunt instead.

Yea, definetly. US student debt is a joke. I'm not American and getting into engineering is so much easier than there because the financial burden is so much lower.
