I think it actually might work, if enough number of people who think they are interested in Philosophy go ahead and study Engineering, every now and then you might have enough engineers to fulfil the demand. In software this is a recurring trend people from all walks of life with different professional backgrounds musicians, artists , lawyers regularly produce great software. And I think this is how things are in real life, explicit specialisation is a mistake, we need people with diverse backgrounds who can think laterally, such engineers will enrich the engineering experience, we need all kinds of people not just straight A math students. Because different people also bring along different ways of thinking and different ways of problem solving. After all Philosophy is as much as intellectual pursuit as engineering if no less. Though I am kind of a semi socialist in for education, I would prefer Education to be free for all as long as you can qualify the entrance you should be free to pursue anything. I believe job market will eventually dictate what people study, if there are no jobs for humanities people in the market people might stop studying those things.
