high paying code writing or going into physics/engineering.

Engineering is much different than software architecture.

One requires hard sciences competency, whereas one you can go into for years with none, and be successful.



But when the smartest undergrads are looking at potential career choices they see engineering and CS as means to a good life.

I think you will find that doing what google does at scale does require some "hard science" :-)


Exceptional case. Most don't.
