Engineers are Uncaring

Swedish researchers conducted a study on how caring people are in their respective fields of study.  The result was very interesting -- engineers are "less caring and empathetic than those who [are in medicinal profession]." [1] However, not all engineers are uncaring and cold.  The study shows that the computer scientists are in fact "warm [and] caring." [1] I am glad I transferred from engineering to com-sci now.  According to the study, I am warm and caring too.
