Do you remember a time when every one was graduating high school and they all knew exactly where they were headed? I was not one of them.
I vaguely remember a teacher persuading us to head towards engineering colleges. She gave us an estimated figure on how many engineers the world will need by the time we graduate, it was a some huge number.
I was one of those with no future at all because instead of engineering, I got myself an Arts degree in Advertising. I rebelled with fear and trembling because deep down, I worried that my teacher might be right, that I will have no future at all.
US News and World Report has ranked Kettering University as “the #1 University in the nation for Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering” in its annual “America’s Best Colleges Guide for 2008″.
Kettering’s class leading engineering co-op programs places students in companies in their freshman year and rotate them between school and their co-op job alternating every 3 months to gain practical experience from the beginning of their Kettering education.
What do you think? Should I have pursued an engineering? I think I’ll rather take the shortcut - marry an engineer.

Hmm this is a p**d p*st? Anyway not everyone is suitable for engineering, like not everyone is suitable for medicine or for arts or for business. So I guess there is no regret not choosing engineering. After all, you should study something you are interested in.

Okay. I have no regrets that I didn’t study engineering then.

Are you an engineer? If so, please use the contact form to send me your CV. Please include your current and expected future salary.
Chinese has a wording, ‘hang hang zhu juan yuen’, means that whichever line we choose, there will be a future for us. But, once the opportunity come, one must know how to grab it… then, waiting for the result lahhh. Agreed !!
Mimi, that sounds like wise advice. Are you going to follow the same advice?
oh yes…. till now i m praticing with this..
but always busy to learn something new, so that won’t be ‘outsider’.
work hard (but not blind work) is always my key word.
