Should've gone into engineering. You guys make a lot of money and it's easy to find jobs, right?

implying employers look at GPA

>> No.4101298

>>4101274
Have never even been asked for GPA, and it doesn't reflect how well you'll do in a job much anyway. Engineering programs are half math, but you'll never be asked to solve an ODE during a job interview.

>> No.4101303

do not become a civic engineer.

most of the jobs i've seen are for mech, electrical and computer.

Only if your the best of the best but then again you wouldn't be an engineer. I know here they give you a government approved diploma. Somewhat of a little extra sticker that goes on your thing saying you meat the school expectations and also can work for the government which is around a 75%+

I should've become a slave and gone into engineering. Do something you like they said.

Looks like someone didn't get the sticker!!

For who, exactly? I've been thinking of trying to nab an internship with GE, for similar reasons... but I'm not sure if they're the best company to go after for that.

Will do. Thanks, wasn't expecting any actual advice.

At the moment I'm helping restore a biplane from the late 1920s... would that be worthwhile experience for a mechanical engineer? Or would something more focused (i.e. an internship) be a better use of my time?

what about working with faculty on their research?

Mechanical engineer here, every job I look for asks for several years of experience while I'm still in the middle of college. What are some entry level jobs? I'm losing faith here.

>> No.4102505

I'm going into aerospace engineering next year, any advice or insight as to what I should expect?

>> No.4102515

>>4102484
Employers want specific skills even for entry level shit. The bi-plane thing is something nice to put on your resume or talk about in an interview but you will get much further with an internship.
