Yes... most of the friends in question (MechEs, as I mentioned) work in power generation, petroleum engineering, etc. Not sure what your friend group looks like.

If you're going to act like you're doing some kind of utilitarian calculation, you're going to need to do a more convincing job of recognizing this as a tradeoff space rather than seethingly appealing to "science teams"
