What careers would be possible with a Mechatronics degree vs Mechanical Drafting degree through a trade school.?
I am considering two different paths after graduating from high school. One would be a traditional college route with a four year degree in Mechatronics. The other would be a nearby trade school that offers an Associate degree in Drafting/Design and provides job placement assistance. For the past few years I have been on my school's robotics team and really enjoy designing the robot in CAD then 3-D printing all the parts to build it. I think both pathways lead to a similar career, but one is quicker and a fraction of the cost. Am I correct in this?
What are the main differences between a civil engineer and industrial engineer?
trying to decide which pathway to go.

VLSI? or AI what in AI?
In a world increasingly powered by microchips, Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) is the bedrock of modern electronics. From smartphones and laptops to electric vehicles and AI-driven data centers, VLSI design enables the technology we rely on daily. Many countries in ASIA, like India, offer specialized training that costs a lot. Is the investment worth it? What is the ROI (Return on Investment) of VLSI training in today’s competitive market? Having done a bachelor's in information technology (IT) and specialized skill training in the US but I lack enough experience in IT, and this project-based teaching appeals to me. Despite all this training, I am jobless. I lean toward these on-the-job cohorts from LinkedIn, which costs a lot, and wonder if it's worth it? All offer placement guarantees, mock interviews, and show income projections too good to be true. The same goes for data analytics or cybersecurity. I am having difficulty understanding what to do and how best to approach it. Should I be more focused on AI or be specialized in other than AI things. any guidance is sincerely appreciated
