Why Engineering?

Engineers spend much of their time solving problems. If you like solving problems, engineering could be for you! Generally speaking "real world" engineering problems are quite different from the problems you solved in school. Those problems usually had a single correct answer. When you get into the engineering world, there will be no single answer, no answer in the back of the book, no teacher to tell you that you are right or wrong. You will be required to make your own solution and to make other people think that your solution is the best one. Studies show that the number-one cause of unhappiness among people is job dissatisfaction (неудовлетворенность). Thus, it is important to find a career that provides you with enjoyment and satisfaction. After all, you might spend about 40 years working 8 hours or more a day, five days a week, fifty weeks a year. Do you want to dislike every minute of that time or would you do something that you enjoy?

There is a strong relation between limited education and low income. Statistics show that most jobs in the modern industrial world require technical training. The best pay goes with jobs that demand linking and decisions based on knowledge. These are a few reasons of choosing engineering as your career. Could you add your own reasons?

1. Engineers spend much of their time solving problems.

2. Engmeering problems have no single answer.

3. An engineer can't always find an answer to any engineering problem in books.

4. It's important whether you are satisfied with your job or not.

5. There is a strong relation between limited education and low income.

6. The best pay goes with jobs that demand thinking and decisions.
