Is "thinking" innate though? (Score 1)

I see engineering people in two ways: those who can "think" and those who can "follow". Both types of people can either have engineering degrees, or simply have experience in the field. Honestly? It doesn't seem to matter. Some people are born thinkers. University can perhaps tell the non-thinkers how to logically work through a problem; however, I believe it's superficial and they cannot operate outside of the scope of their book training. This is evident in the IT field especially. The "go-to" people who can fix any problem or come up with the best designs are often non-degree holders these days.
