Good luck.

Two of the toughest fields, man. You need years and years of education. I'm talking college, grad school, then PhD school. Probably like 10 years of education after high school.[/QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure engineering doesn't require a PhD.

Let's Chop Cats! 10-24-2006 08:09 PM

You don't even need your masters.

[QUOTE=REINER;13503623]All depends on what kind of engineering. Do you consider deskwork to be on a computer a lot?[/QUOTE]

Yes, basically. I just don't really want to be in a cubicle all day.

Matt? 10-24-2006 08:56 PM

it seems like if you're gonna be a nuclear engineer you should probably get a masters. i live next to a nuclear power plant and i really hope they're hiring people with masters degrees.

Let's Chop Cats! 10-24-2006 09:02 PM

Masters always help. I plan on getting mine right out of college if I can't find a company that would be willing to send me to get it after I worked for them for a couple years.

With engineering you won't really be in a cubical, but you may/may not be on a computer all day. It depends on the kind you go into.

Matt? 10-24-2006 09:04 PM

what exactly does a computer engineer do?

it seems like an engineer can be anything...

is it like setting up computers or something?

Then tell me about the kind you're going into. I'm just curious.

[QUOTE=BuddyBigsby;13504411]Then tell me about the kind you're going into. I'm just curious.[/QUOTE]Mechanical - Applying physics, thermodynamics, statics and other crap into design and application of things. Products can range from the design of car engines, to a ferris wheel, to a cruise ship. Largest field. Works mainly on computers using drafting software (this is what I've done and like) designing numerous things.

Computer - software design and hardware integration. Anything from writing a program, to designing a processor, to creating a super computer. I enjoy this more, but it's harder. This will obviously be all on computers.

Yeah come on guys, let's all make Niko more comfortable and talk about the things that matter like recess, tetherball, and freeze tag.

BuddyBigsby 10-24-2006 09:30 PM

Computer engineering sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

Let's Chop Cats! 10-24-2006 09:34 PM

Yeah. There is a decent demand for the job too. I may take some business course and minor in that and some how pray some idiot highers me to manage his huge company or something and I get rich.

AIRIC 10-24-2006 09:37 PM

I'm taking A+Certification right now and I hate it. That probably has something to do with computer engineering.

NewKindofArmy03 10-24-2006 10:50 PM

I'm thinking of going for engineering too, i'd probably go to Drexel. I'm not sure what type, maybe environmental. Audio engineering sounds cool but i'm not sure about demand for that one, i'd probably start up a studio or something.

Let's Chop Cats! 10-24-2006 10:52 PM

I'd imagine starting your own studio would be easier than finding a job in that business. That would be cool as hell to be able to record bands for a living.

BuddyBigsby 10-25-2006 01:35 AM

Producing and doing audio engineering would be incredibly fun, but you'd have to be open to doing all types of music. I think you'd be better off starting your own studio too.

I'm doing chemical engineer, and you only need 4 years? You don't have to do grad school at all. It's a major bitch though, just to let you know.

I thought he meant PhD in that area and stuff, not just a major.

Yeah, only 4 years, but a ton of work.

I may do chemical engineering or physics and quantum mechanics/relativity. I still might. I'm really undecided.

I need to make fast money. I'm gonna win the lotto.

Not for entry level sh[size="2"]i[/size]t, but for like research into fusion you generally need to have a masters/or above in physics just to be able to understand what the f[size="2"]u[/size]ck is going on. If I went into NE I would probaly have a minor in Environmental Science because the field two fields I'm interested in (Nuclear Waste Management and Reactor Design) need to have a solid understanding of the environment.

Entry levels dont exist in trade schools

As in it's the first job you'll get with that degree.

Yeah, it'd be harder to be succesful with and i'd have to do something else in the beginning to get by, but if it ended up working out my life would be awesome.
