I have a Bachelors and Masters of Civil Engineering and focused on structural. I practice as a structural engineer and passed my PE. Waiting for the board to hopefully approve me. It was hell to get here and the pay was bad in today's climate. Making decent money but not financially free. Issue too is, engineers are underpaid. Companies then wonder why people leave. Most engineering salaries today are not livable wages. Best engineering jobs for big experience are in cities and they still underpay you most of the time. Rarely do engineers get paid a good salary. I hear companies have issues filling roles. It's called you aren't offering enough. Cost of living is insane now and commute to work from a livable place is too far. It's crazy what some firms offer and expect people to flock to them.

I like how the comment section is filled with paragraphs of text. It’s clearly filled with engineers because it’s very tough for them so summarize their thoughts. My biggest weakness is also over explaining things

I have Bachelor Degree in Computing Science and Information Systems with a GPA of 3.09 back in 2014. When I worked in my first company, it was okay from 2014 to 2019. But when I worked for my second company I was chased away after 3 years and chased away by many companies less than six months. Now in my thirties, I am frustrated for being unemployed many times and want to quit about IT career by saving enough to study Accounting and change my career. I did well in Accounting in high school but didn't study Accounting in College/University yet in the past.

Did anyone here actually read the data? It says that roughly 50% of the people polled in engineering degrees had graduate degrees, aka your B.S. in Engineering doesn't get you great work because you don't have enough schooling and job experience. True, we may currently have an inflated Bachelor's degree market, but this does not mean that Engineering degrees are useless. Read the fine print before you make a determination and don't just parrot people.

I have a masters in space engineering but graduated into the covid pandemic. Since graduation, I can not find a job. I applied for jobs after 2 years since covid began due to covid restrictions. I did interview with some of the leading aerospace companies but none of them hired me due to unknown reasons. No feedback was given, too. It was not my fault. So graduating into the pandemic and job opennings was almost none. I have 2 years gap due to covid pandemic, which is out of my control. I can not get a job due to covid gap years, and companies do not like it. That's not my fault. Life sucks. I worked so hard day and night, but in the end, I am a victim of covid pandemic and unfair treatment of employees. I studied abroad to achieve my dreams therefore I learnt English from beginner level to study at the world's top 30 universities, and I am jobless in the end. What about all those years and commitments? I lived separately from my family for almost 12 years to achieve my childhood dreams. They were all wasted as a result of the covid pandemic. Simply, the covid pandemic ruined my dreams of finding a job. I wanted to do a phd. However, my MSc supervisors do not even reply to my emails for some reason. Referencing sucks.. I achieved high marks but can not get a reference from my arrogant supervisors therefore cannot do a phd because of them. What a fucking lowlife they are...

You can begin in engineering and evolve into specialties that connect your technical knowledge to your evolving career specialty. As an EE the last place I ever expected to work was with a team of lawyers. I worked in electric utility engineering design and operations for about half of my 31year career. The transition began when I was asked to sit in on negotiations with other utilities that wanted to interconnect with our system. This evolved from discussions with our lawyers to writing recommendations for our lawyers to incorporate in a contract. That evolved into writing sections to be dropped in verbatim. As time passed I was asked to author larger and larger portions of agreements. The driver was the contracts operated at the intersection of engineering and contract language Where seemingly small differences in wording could cost or earn large sums of money for years. If asked early in my career if I would want to do that kind of work It would have been a big no. However, I found the challenge of matching wits with competing teams to be enjoyable as it drew on my tech training and made me learn new skills in writing contracts.

I found you on Reddit, so shoutout lol But that's very strange, I didn't know that. My cousin got a BS in Electrical Engineering, got a job as an electrical engineer straight out of college at the most renounced weapons company in America, then he switched to cyber security, and he's stuck with cyber security. I would've never thought companies would hire an electrical engineer for their cyber security

If engineering students were to acquire a trade while getting their degree they would be almost guarantied at least a middle class income and career in the trades may lead to an engineering job eventually. Clearly the 2 go well together but the education emphasizes academic subjects like history or higher mathematics which even engineers rarely use.

its actually just common sense. just look what an engineer actually does, they oversee projects and pretty much have the final say. they arent the ones who are building it tho. so they arent gonna hire too many engineers. its like how theres 1 teacher in a class, but many students

Graduated in 2019 with a mech BA. Couldn't find a job as an engineer in Tamapa. Everyone wanted me as a technician, but not as an engineer. (20 years as an aircraft technician) I gave up after a year of looking. Worked in HVAC and controls for 3 years....as a technician. Thank God I didn't pay for the degree (GI Bill), but man, what a waste of time. Quit all together and started my own business for 2-3x the pay....as, you guessed, a technician. Corporate America can go blow a goat.

I think too many young able-bodied people are hoping to skip low wage physical labor. They're going from the classroom to the office making 70K. Why? Because they can do math? You should have to physically earn it either through construction experience or military service. We are raising an entire generation of brats while illegals are sliding in to do the physical work. Disgusting!

I know of 3 kinds of people for whom an engineering degree might be an ideal choice: 1) People who don't care if they become engineers, want the degree to prove their intelligence (or else just satisfy their curiosity for a few years) and know that they would be satisfied taking it with them into unrelated jobs. For these folks, it helps to have superb social skills and be able to sell oneself into anything in job interviews, even while holding an unrelated diploma. 2) People working as non-degreed engineers, who are obtaining the diploma as a prerequisite to job security or advancement in their companies. 3) Preeminent child geniuses who do things like learn the periodic table of elements at age 4, finish reading Isaac Newton's Principia before age 12, and build hydrogen fusion reactors as teenagers. I mean, youth whose ability to be selected for a technical job before 500 other capable applicants really couldn't be called into question, due to their science resumes even before college. Number 3 shouldn't really be a category, because the degree is even more suitable for a youth in category 3 if the youth is also in category 2 before adulthood. For everyone else, engineering degrees are a dreadful gamble.

There's not a frozen chance in Hell that I would have done an electrical engineering degree if I had known I wouldn't be more hirable afterwards than I was before my freshman year (1998). After my graduation, it took me 14 years and a great deal more college education to find myself in my first full-time professional job. In the USA, NAFTA wrecked the economics of graduating with an engineering degree. NAFTA is one reason why I don't picture myself voting for a Democrat anytime too soon.

Hello Oliver, I am choosing to study mechatronics engineering program at a college in canada, The issue is that as of now its not been accredited by the CEAB(Canadian Engineering Association Board) and they say that they will be eleigible to apply after the first batch of students have graduated. so my question is that Does the accreditation really matter alot? your reply would really help me, I am in a dilemma and i only have 2 days remaining to confirm my place!

The biggest problem is that universities accept too many students who are actually not smart enough to be engineers. I graduated from our city's best high school, where most people's parents have decent positions like engineers, professors, doctors, government officers, and family business owners... After we graduated from college, almost everyone who chose an engineer major found an engineer position. Intelligence is the most hereditary feature of human beings, but lots of people wouldn't admit that...

I was underemployed for 2 years in engineering. We're pushing engineering degrees because conservatives like Daily Wire and Turning Point USA can profit off of videos of them schooling engineering students on college campuses who are being scammed. I've been thinking about this one, and we have a deeper spiritual crisis in the schools where men's lives aren't valued and protected.
