Stay out of Aerospace - unless you like long hours married to (rediculously short) schedules of uninspiring work at low pay.
Besides a degree in ME, you need to have some idea of what kind of work you want to do - HVAC, mechanisms, structures, powerplants, fluid mechanics, etc., then attend a school that has a strong curriculum in that specialty. |

I'm an EE.
My best grades were in EM (Engineering Mechanics, Strength of Materials) It is interesting in an intelectual way. |

you already write like an engineer so you're halfway there.
good chance you could get a job in automotive, and end up in detroit. great place to make money. weather sucks. just make sure you take the math and technical classes as early as possible - get 'em out of the way. |

Huh? There isn't anything but math and technical classes after the first year. Thermodynamics was fun.... |

Good luck, I'm working on a Mechanical Engineering degree right now. I'll warn you, the math is a b@#ch and I consider myself good at math. While in high school I worked under a ME at a local plant. His job was easy. Also, he was a dumba$$ and making $60,000 a year 3 years out of school. He was fluid mechanics specialist. I'm thinking about going into rotating equipment specialist.
good luck Matt |
