Would we be better off as a society with more engineers or more philosophers?

Question:

Would we be better off as a society with more engineers or more philosophers?

I trust that people in the philosophy section can be objective.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Aren't they really the same in a plisophical sense? After all they both strive to understand a fundamental aspect of the universe and it's nature? When philosphers and engineers work together it can be magic.

Oh, yeah, I spent my first 3 years in college studying engineering on full scholarship before I switched to art.
