Is there a company/organization that will allow me to donate some of my time so I can get a feel for what Mechanical Engineering is? I want to see what is like being an engineer instead of someone telling me. Thanks!

I am interested in Mechanical Engineering and want to know more about it. #volunteering #engineering #internships #mechanical-engineering

What is the better choice that will save me money and probably make me make more money in the future, Mechanical Engineering or Trade School to Automotive Technology?

Which one will be cheaper and which one will make me more money in the future. I have seen people make six figures with no college degree and they save a lot of money. #mechanical-engineering #trade-school

As a mechanical engineer when did you pick out what specific you wanted to work at?

I'm in my second year of school and I feel like I am behind because I do not know what I want to do with this degree yet. There is no specific subfield that I want to go into. #mechanical-engineering

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

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...
