what scientist or engineers wear suits to work?

Thinking of a high-tech career but one requisite is a stylish dress code. The other is a high salary and the last is a "practical" field that normal people are interested in hearing about, not abstract rubbish.

Computer Engineer here. I've got to wear a suit when I'm presenting at trade shows, the rest of the time it's jeans and T-shirt. I could wear a suit every day if I wanted to, but I really don't.

Well, maybe bath robes or something....

>> No.4839963

Realistic answer: on normal days, virtually nobody doing technical scientific work dresses up. Suits are for presentations, sales, meetings with non-scientists, and that sort of thing.

Loophole: you can always dress up if you want to. I know a linguistics professor (linguistics is a science) who shows up to his university job in a suit everyday. It's not the norm, but he does it and that's that. He's aging and not particularly handsome, but he's perfected the "roguish professor" persona over the years and the undergrad girls eat it up.

Get the engineering degree, then get your MBA and be the project manager in charge of the engineers. You'll wear a suit, have the salary, have the authority and satisfaction of knowing that the engineers report to you, and because you actually have the engineering degree you'll know that you're more badass than most other manager types and be paid accordingly.

I know this feel, btw. Chalk it up to TV and magazines I guess, but I've always felt like "professional" types wear suits. It just looks more mature than the kid who never grew out of T-shirts and jeans.

Oh don't get me wrong, the lower level PM education and certification has its place. That'll get you into management experience before you get the MBA. But when you get MBA + project management certification + engineering degree, you enter god mode of ultimate salary and no promotion ceiling.
