I graduated 2 years ago from the Department of Mining and Petrolium Engineering at the University of Alberta (Edmonton, Alberta).

There were over 500 students in my first year. In one of my lectures the Dean of Engineering asked the people who were in the top 10% of their high school to raise their hands. 80-90% of the people in that room raised their hands! He then said that Half of us would not be here next year. Sure enough he was right...

Engineering can be very tough. But there are many real world experiences that can be tougher yet. I'm sure some of the more...ah...senior guys here on the site can back me up on that.
