That's true. Eventually it doesn't matter much what the degree says, its more your personal capabilities. And if you can't analyze and solve the problem you'll be practicing transportation engineering with 80k in school loans. I just find that my path allows me more freedom then my engineering buddies whom always seem to be constrained by this committee, that project deadline, ISO this, ISO that. Actually, one engineering friend did get to use his creativity -- he had to present dependency reports in weekly project impact meetings so he ported a HUGE 4-yr microsoft project plan into an access database and wrote some pretty impressive queries.... It really was pretty cool, not trivial but I digress...
