Not too shabby. Not too shabby at all.

[Doc Slide 14]

Chemical, twice over (B.S. and Ph.D., both from Georgia Tech), now running my own business and trying to actually make a little money at it.

That's cool. what do you do/ sell?

[Twilight Dirac 721]

Electrical, Optical and Aerospace, although I actually work as a physicist.  I spent way too much time in grad school.

[N.W. 3,619]

In my Senior year of a pre-engineering program aimed at preparing students for studying engineering in college.

I currently have a strong leaning towards Aerospace.

I run a small engineering/consulting business. Process/equipment design for clients that want to build a new plant or expand/overhaul their existing operations, assistance with other engineering-related matters such as environmental permitting, a little bit of lab testing here and there. I bought the business from my former boss about a year ago and have been trying to get some traction--not an easy thing for what is basically a one-man operation. (Two, if you count my office manager.)

That's quite the stress you have on there. How much do you profit on?

Nice, do you plan on working for NASA or some military company?

Shooting for the stars, eh?

Actually I have been unable to do this.  I wanted to try some more Aerospace Engineering after receiving my Physics Ph.D., but I have had no luck getting hired by Aerospace firms.

Sorry to hear that but luck will come

[lelouch. 625]

Lolz i switched from electrical engineering to computer science. Just today. After 3 weeks of electrical. Sorry guys.

[Sudo Krenton 243]

Electrical and Computer Engineering(not a combined major, just the title of the major) as a sophomore....

Woo, dead topic revival time!

 

Mech E student right here. And it is H to the A to the R-D HARD. 

[Codelyy 1,286]

@@SainTcRusade. Hey there . This topic isn't suitable to be in the life advice forum and would be best suited in the general discussion forum which is where I'm moving it now.

 

EDIT: Just noticed it's a old post but oh well.

I'm an aerospace engineering major in my senior year (to be attending a full 5th year though). I'm surprised I made it this far; I'm interested barely enough to continue since it's not something I want to do for the rest of my life, but rather I'm in this career path for two reasons:

 

1.) I want to work as a pilot someday, but if you're well-aware of the situation, jumping into flight school is expensive and early-jobs are very-low pay and highly demanding.

 

2.) I'll get a good understanding of how and why everything that makes up an airplane works.

 

But yeah, I'm interested enough. It's not a career you want to pursue if you don't like it.

 

My only fear is if I can't compete enough for work I'll end up unemployed and in debt for life.

I have a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering technology. Which is why my OC's name is Mech Tech.

[Bogrick Grey Mane 2,594]

Senior Instrumentation Engineer for GSK, Honeywell and Texico among others, some of which I can't discuss.

Owned and ran my own business as an Alternative Energy Consultant, wind and micro hydro sectors.

Last qualification 'Queens Award to Industry'

[Xylosian 140]

Plan to get a masters in electrical engineering, it's a field of engineering that I enjoy a lot.

[SugarfootWillie 383]

I've done the engineering track in school for 4.5 years and switched to art because I wanted to try and turn what I do in my free time into a source of income. Figured I would be happier with that. I was in the ocean engineering track at the time, but have credits in aerospace, bio-technical, mechanical, computer, CNC, and green STEM. Out of all of those the most enjoyable fields were ocean, aerospace, and bio-tech.

 

After my art degree I am going back into engineering, and I plan on coupling it with theoretical physics.

 

Still study in my free time and ultimately my current goal now is to be able to understand dynamic systems and chaos theory.

I have not currently graduated, but since I have always been interested by mechanical stuff, I will most likely be a mechanical Engineer. 

Wish me luck in college!
