Mechanical Engineer working in construction. Just got PE this year too!
My son is studying this at Uni…please tell me it’s not a dying career with all the new techMechanical Engineer working in construction. Just got PE this year too!
Not at all, Industry is currently booming, and there's honestly not enough engineers in this field.My son is studying this at Uni…please tell me it’s not a dying career with all the new tech
Sounds like you have done outstanding well just to have a career …good on you for not just going on welfare and giving up.Thanks for the laughs everyone. I had originally wanted to pursue something the medical field to make my parents happy, but during one of my visits to the hospital for volunteering / collecting hrs a guy had came in with parts of his fingers missing and I almost throw up and passed out. So the search went on for something new. I thought accounting because I like numbers. After a semester in I had chemo six times and it messed up how my brain worked. I almost became dyscalculia. I couldn't focus and concentrate anymore. As a kid I always had a passion for baking and cooking. So I went to culinary school and picked up a degree in hospitality management while I was there.
I use to watch those shows all the time when I was younger.My new favorite TV shows are "Master Chef" and "Top Chef".
Chefs are artists.
You're too kind. I could never go on Welfare. I have a family member that has 5 kids and gets government help and that isn't the kind of lifestyle I would want to have.Sounds like you have done outstanding well just to have a career …good on you for not just going on welfare and giving up.
Like I said, I would be more than happy if one of my sons became a Chef so I didn’t have to cook anymore. Sadly I don’t think it’s in the works
I'm a mechanical, and started as a field engineer at my current company just out of college to start getting some money. My job is definitely geared towards civils, but realistically many companies will take any type of engineer they can get. Now I'm basically a glorified accountant since they moved me to management. It's a great field!My son is studying this at Uni…please tell me it’s not a dying career with all the new tech
So...what are you now? You could always sit at home and trade stocks, like mei'm just curious. i use to be a physical therapy tech before covid hit.

Cool to have an Architect on the forum! As a design-phreak, I love looking at all that stuff, especially Modernist, except for certain examples that are too cold and austere.Retired, been an Architect for 40 years.
