What's it like doing a theatre minor?
I'm an engineering major and I've recently realized that I really miss being involved in theatre - I used to do the plays in high school. I'm considering doing a theatre minor, but I don't know if it's going to do me any good since my career is probably not going to be related to theatre at all. What's it like doing a theatre minor and what are the benefits? Is it going to be of any help to me career-wise? Should I consider doing one or not? #theatre #minor #college-minor #engineering #theatre-minor

Is it better to get a biology degree for undergraduate study and then mechanical engineering degree for graduate study or simply getting a biomedical engineering degree if you are seeking employment in the biomedical field?
I'm asking because from what I have researched it seems that mechanical engineers can become biomedical engineers, despite not directly studying in the field of biomedical engineering and since mechanical engineering has a variety of job opportunities I thought it would be good to have something to lean back on. However, I'm unsure if a biomedical engineering degree would better since it would limit me to that field and although it's a growing field, I'm afraid I won't find work in the future. #career #career-advice #biology #biomedical-engineering #engineering
Is a masters in any engineering field worth the extra investment?

Is "drafter" a still-used position at engineering firms? What skills does a drafter need?
For example, if you were going to a college with vocational courses, would it make sense to try to pursue something that prepares you to become a drafter? Are engineering firms still looking for people to handle just drafting, or do they only want engineers? If they are, what are the necessary drafting programs to learn that make you more employable? #engineering #civil-engineering #drafting #computer-aided-drafting #architectural-drafting #structural-drafting #vocational-school #vocational-planning #vocationalprograms
