David C’s Answer

Make sure that the engineering discipline you decide on is what would enjoy as a career. Sometimes your skills may lie in some trade you can learn at a four year vocational trade school instead of college. It is much, much less expensive and time consuming and you will get to work on your trade relatively quickly. There are many companies looking for skilled and trained people, and at good pay. So don't think you have to focus just on college. Many companies now are looking for the skills rather than the degree.
