I hope to attend college next year. I think I may want to do either mechanical, electrical, or energy engineering.
Mechanical Engineer-
$80,000-120,000 before taxes
It fluctuates based on the job, there are many different areas for mechanical engineering
It requires 4 years of college and a bachelors degree
You have to be able to think outside the box, focus on the problem at hand and be a creative problem solver
Electrical Engineer-
$90,000
This salary seems mostly similar everywhere
4 yrs/ Bachelor's degree
Working knowledge of electrical circuits, how to fix and create them, and electrical physics
Energy Engineer-
$80,000-100,000
Salary changes with more environmentally conscious areas
4 yrs/ Bachelor's degree
Knowledge of climate change, approaches of what to do about it. Have a strong desire and commitment to solving our energy problems, while saving the environment
Engineering is a very practical and in-demand career. From experience with my father and his college buddies (electrical engineering), you need to stay current because engineering is a very competitive and constantly changing field. Nice research. All of those careers look exciting. Best of luck!
