Well that settles that then.
While there are certainly courses that aren't necessary to gain a degree, like Chemistry for a Civil Engineering degree, I have a hard time thinking an engineering degree can be had quickly. Pre-Law and Pre-Med are probably the absolute dumbest of major layouts. But then isn't there something to a comprehensive education in general... or is a College just job training?
I have an engineering degree and doubt I have ever used 5% of what I learned.
Yet, people are still impressed I have it.
On the other hand, I went to graduate school for finance and immediately went into a financial job and used a decent amount of what I learned. But probably what I used could have been learned in a few months of training on the job. Most of the stuff you actually use in the world is in the 100 level courses, not the 400 level courses.
