How much student loans can I take with a mechanical engineering starting salary

I am a mechanical engineering sophomore and I recently learned my parent can only contribute about 5% of my college finances. What is an affordable, realistic amount I can take out in student loans so I don't drown in student debt? For more information, I live in New Jersey and my dream job would be located in the New York City area. Thanks. #debt #student-debt #scared #money #loans #financial-aid #engineer #engineering #mechanical-engineering

I am a High School student and don't know which career i would choose. For one I know people don't take music seriously, because of the jobs. But I love Both!!

Engineering and Music sound GREAT for me, but every time I search "engineering in the music industry" it says audio engineering, for some reason I was hoping something else. What kind of engineering would it fall under if I were to use it to work in the music industry? #civil-engineering #mechanical-engineering #music-industry #music-recording #music-producer #music-composition #music-education

How can I become a manufacturing engineer with a mechanical engineering degree?

Hi, I'm currently a junior level mechanical engineering student with an interest in manufacturing because I've been reading a few magazines about it (Automation World, Pro Food World, etc if anyone's familiar) but I'm still trying to figure out the skills and education that I need for the industry. I know I need to learn about lean and Six Sigma, but should I understand anything else? #manufacturing #mechanical-engineering #mechanical-or-industrial-engineering #manufacturing-engineering #industrial-engineering

Balancing reality and a dream?

I've wanted to study engineering, more specifically mechanical, since before I entered high school. And although I still love the discipline and have no doubts about my desire, I know that one reason I like the path is that it is relatively secure. But recently, I've had a dream of going into the sports media world, because I've been obsessed about stuff like that since I was a kid. I'm not looking for a "Go for it!" or "If you can dream it, you can do it!" answer, I want someone's honest opinion. #engineering #mechanical-engineering #sports #sports-media #dreams

Is it true that a person's major/degree doesn't necessarily set one up for a career in that field?

If I'm majoring in Mechanical Engineering, for example, but over time find a new branch of engineering that is more appealing, would having that degree be a waste? #mechanical-engineering

How hard is engineering for a girl?

Next year I would be studying mechanical engineering in a four year university, I've heard various times that the work field in engineering is extremely tough, and for girls it's even harder because of the lack of girls in STEM. I know that going into that career you need to have a strong personality and mindset, but, what other advise do you have to face engineering? how hard was it? #mechanical-engineering #engineering #girlpower #girls-in-STEM

What is the most exciting job a Mechanical Engineer can have and how do I obtain it?

I'm not sure exactly what I want to do with my degree when I get out of college, but I know Mechanical Engineering is the broadest of the engineering disciplines. There are other majors at my school that I could have chosen, like Robotics Engineering or Aerospace, but I don't want to limit my career choices yet. Is choosing Mechanical still a good option? #mechanical-engineering

Is WSU widely recognized in the engineering community?

I'm looking to go into a career in engineering, and I've applied to UW, but am also applying to WSU as a backup. My GPA is well above 3.5, so I know that I can get into UW for sure (they have guaranteed admission for those with a GPA of 3.5 or greater). If I don't make it into engineering at UW, would WSU be worth attending? #engineering #mechanical-engineering

Which states are cheap and excellent(strong and competitive) for Mechanical Engineering

I am a student in the US and my major is Mechanical Engineering. I am attending college right now and will be transferring next fall to a 4-year institution. I am looking for a school that is affordable to me and at the same time has strong reputation and accreditation in its Engineering Programs. In other words, it is like an equation or a compromise between cost and quality of education so I am looking for a school/state that possesses those two features together. #education #mechanical-engineering #engineering
