Engineering is a profession not an occupation that requires a lot of hard work and dedication to science and math. If someone can fight through the rigorous years of higher level education, an engineering degree will earn them the highest average out of college salary of any degree. That doesn’t mean engineering is easy however, it can take up to 8 years of education to earn a PHD in mechanical engineering, and that doesn’t even grantee you a job. A person cannot earn a degree in engineering itself; the profession is broken up into different majors such as, Electrical, Chemical, materials, …show more content…
Earning a degree, in one of these fields opens a wide variety of high paying careers in fields such as Physics, Aerospace, Energy, and Automotive disciplines that need professionals who know how to use technology, science, and
