Hello all,
I'm brand new here. I have a bit of a career predicament.
I have a B.S. (received with honor's) in Mechanical Engineering. I have a year of work experience as a design engineer. I am an extremely active and social person who used to work in journalism, so after working in design (at a computer for 8 hours a day) I nearly lost my mind. I ended up leaving to find another path that was more closely-aligned with my personality.
I moved back into media and started working alongside producers on different video projects. Work has been unstable, the pay is barely above min-wage, and I have been horrified by the lack of professionalism and utter laziness among the people in media. I miss the clear instruction, the respect and the professional attitude that the engineering workplace provided.
So I am at a crossroads. Are there any engineering disciplines where I can work and still be active, and still be social?
All I have found is sales engineering, and I am seriously considering it.
Thanks all!
