I'm not trying to tell anyone how to feel but I don't think you should feel that way. Part of being a complete person is having a multifaceted personality and many passions. Some of the students I work with are not driven to become engineers. They join our team because the passion of other students and our passions as mentors is infectious and that is what drives them. Talented and driven people like to work with other talented and driven people. I'm just as proud of the liberal arts majors as I am of the material science majors that I've helped to inspire.
