I’m not going to do something that I know can’t help me pay bills.” • Has Flexible Schedules “My career can’t consume all of my time…I need free time to do a lot of other things…before I die.” You may want to consider getting a degree in engineering or engineering technology. I know engineering may not sound fun. And yes, I know that you aren’t a geek. And yes, I know that math & science may not be your best subjects. And yes, I know that you don’t want to work in a cubicle and get fed pizzas. • • • • • • • • Love your work and live your life Be creative Work with other great people Solve problems that improve life Not be bored Make a great salary Have job flexibility Travel Igniting imagination and innovation What is engineering? Engineers are changing the world all of the time. They dream up creative, practical solutions and work with teams of smart, inspiring people to invent, design, and create things that matter. Engineers use their imagination and analytical skills to invent, design, and build things that matter. They are team players with independent minds who ask, “How can we develop a better recycling system to protect the environment, design a school that can withstand an earthquake, or create cutting-edge special effects for the movies?” By dreaming up creative and practical solutions, engineers are changing the world all the time.
