Career questions tagged sustainabletech
As a high school student from Bangladesh, how do I know what is the right major for me when I've barely been exposed to any?
I'm a 10th grader, highly interested in Computer Science and technology. I was interested in creating sustainable and environment friendly tech. But, I can't seem to figure out if it's the right choice for me, especially in the current world where automation is threatening to replace many jobs related to this major. And looking at my other academic interests, which mostly includes STEM(minus medicine), I'm having a hard time understanding what I should choose. Engineering? But what type of engineering? Biology? Both my parents graduated from biology background so it has always fascinated but then again, what exactly? My parents do jobs that are totally different from their field of study now, so I've never really known what it's like to be STEM major or a STEM professional. I thought CS was it for me, but dreams aren't enough. As someone with a middle class background, I have to take into consideration scope, jobs, and pay too.
How will I be able to gain the most experience as a future undergraduate who wishes to study electrical engineering And how can I make it so my experiences will be able to help people?
Electrical Engineering has always been my dream career, it pays well, it's difficult, I get to help people, and I get to work and innovate with electricity, which is a commodity that our developing world needs. However, gaining real applicable experience isn't always easy. I wish to know how to gain experience in order to become an electrical engineer that is able to create effective change in our growing society. #Spring25
