I thought going into engineering would be a better environment for this kind of questioning. It turns out my toddler-level frequency of "Why?" transcends bachelor level expectations, thus I must pursue even higher education.
Walking into a contract with uncurious junior engineers was frustrating to say the least.
Engineering, in general (not talking about programming) is a super conservative field. It's crazy how many people I run into that are clearly intelligent, but have just been so silo'd into one field that they have no understanding of anything practical outside of their field.
