Top Paychecks in Choosing an Engineering Course

by Charles Gonzales Gagui - CleVer Vibration

You had chosen Engineering as your field of study and why not?

Isn't it obvious, Engineering is the over the top, best ever, awesome job in the entire freaking universe. Simply because engineers get to do cool stuff all the time. Not to mention, earning good money, enjoying life, travelling a lot and still respected to make the world a better place. How awesome is that?

Engineers don't just learn, but they live, breathe and do science. They use their acquired knowledge to make dreams a reality and do the impossible. Engineers are everywhere and in-demand all the time. They're in building and construction, IT, programming, gaming, product design, manufacturing, oil and gas, hospitals, weather stations and even to space. 

If you are still confused that engineering is right for you then you can just skip everything up and try psychology instead. I bet they have free counselling everyday.

Moving on, if your gut tells you that you're born to be an engineer. Next thing you need to decide is what engineering field is right for you.

On the other hand, why should we limit ourselves by just choosing an engineering field? Engineering is an application, we should base our decision on what we want to do as an end result. 

Basically, I will list down top engineering jobs and common jobs you would likely end up when you choose a specific field. Depending on your interest and thinking, decide what field will give you an edge and will get you there. Now is the time to think like an engineer, to be an engineer.
