As a potential Engineering major, I would like to know the possibility of pursuing Engineering as well as Vocal Teaching at the same time.

I love music, and have played piano for thirteen years. I have been in my school choir for seven years, and I made first chair All-State Choir last year. I would love to incorporate music into my every day life. #mechanical-engineering #music-performance #music-teaching

Do many of the required engineering courses for different engineering majors overlap?

I know that I want to major in engineering, but I am currently uncertain as to what specific major I want. If I get into college and decide to change my major from one field of engineering to another, how well do the classes overlap? Do I really have to know what specific field I want to go into before applying to colleges? #college #computer-science #engineering #mechanical-engineering #computer-engineering #biomedical-engineering #electrical-engineering #materials-science

Do you really like your job? If so, why do you and is it your true calling card? If not, why not and can you do something about it?

I'm a high school senior and my sophomore year I went to a business company and I asked the employees if they liked their jobs and if it made them happy. Not, surprisingly, some said no. What I found more puzzling was the reason that although they did not like their jobs they still kept on working. Therefore, I ask you folks are you happy? #computer-software #business #engineering #medicine #mechanical-engineering #architecture
