Went to school for Audio engineering for 2 semesters. My professor even told us basically not to get this degree. Glad I eventually found Computer Information Systems and now Iâm a Software Developer.
Nice! Tips for the viewers?
Shane Hummus - The Success GPS donât rush into something. Itâs very unlikely you will know what you want to do for the rest of your life at the age of 18. I took a break on school for 3 years after community college because I wasnât sure what I wanted to do. I had to pay for school myself after that so I wanted to be 100% on the degree. I found a good job that paid $50k+ a year and pays 8K a year towards certain degrees(usually business and CS). I got most of my degree paid for. The loans I did have to take out were paid back within year of graduating. Sure I had to work full time and take 4-5 classes at a time. Sure it was hard and I would have maybe 1 day off a month. But it was all worth it now. Iâm doing something I love and making good money. It may have taken until 27 to graduate. But itâs with a good degree with very little debt.
TLDR; go to community college for 2 years and take your time with finding what you want to do.
You can make a ton of money as an audio engineer...
You know, man, I was contemplating my college life literally yesterday till I saw your comment. I am 4 semesters deep and I felt I was going downhill. I took Civil Engineering but I hated it. I saw "Computer information systems" Because of that, I am now going to my advisor in 6 hours to talk about computer science as a whole and more specifically cybersecurity. Thanks man.
Great video! Electrical Engineering major here, practically everything you need for audio engineering is taught in Electrical, Electronics, or Computing Engineering. In fact, audio-related projects are relatively popular among those who majored in the aforementioned.
Thanks for sharing!
Was your major worth it?
why not mechatronics engineering major, because it has mechanical computer science electrical
Same here
When shaine said "companies know theyre getting someone very smart, very hard working and they know how to teach themselves because engineering professors don't" I felt that to the core man... Sums up my entire 1st year. I was hit with the harsh reality that to survive most of engineering you have to self teach yourself or really on others for help if you really want to understand.
Studies Engineering.
right lol
Study of what?
Uh oh it has the word studies in it. F tier!
Engineering Studies. You basically make sociology-esque essays on engineering
Lol
I have a welding engineering technology degree. It is an amazing field with really good pay. The reason it is so low is because there has been a shortage of welding engineers so many smaller companies were calling lead technicians or foreman "welding engineers" instead of degree welding engineers. I had no trouble making six figures in aerospace as a welding engineer.
I am looking into becoming a welding engineer. Currently looking for a good schooling program. Any advice?
@@Thekeithbrewer PCT, Latourneau, Ferris State, Ohio State in that order. There's not many schools. PCT and Ferris are more hands on Ohio state is more analytical. I find the mores hands on is more applicable to what you'll do in the field unless you want to go get a PhD in the subject.
I want to do welding engineering but Iâm no weâre near any of those places as Iâm in Mississippi and Iâm 30 with a family so itâs difficult finding the time to go to school on campus out of state.
ââ@@MetaRinka would you say it's a sexist major to work in? Because I wanna study that but I'm concerned that me, being a woman would be more difficult to get a job, Idk what do you think? did you have female classmates??
@@MetaRinka I'm currently attending LeTourneau and am probably going to declare my major as a Materials Joining degree. Lots of companies come to the career fairs here. I know 4 freshman MJTs that have already got an internship lined up for the summer of their Sophomore year. Companies snatch them up as fast as they can as there aren't very many of them. Honestly seems like a pretty solid choice for people who enjoy Welding, Working with their hands, and making good many at it without killing themselves lol.
Me watching this as a second year environmental engineering student. đđ§đđ§đ
It's going to grow a lot, it's not as bad at all, especially thinking at all the problems with the environment problems we have. And also there are not as many as you guys out there, in Italy, for example this degree doesn't exist and I think it's important.
Best of luck
I canât decide if I want to do environmental science or engineering. Could you provide some insight, anything helps, thanks!

@@jeremiahm1413 do you think it is good to specialize in power field of EE? I would be really happy if you reply
@@nihatahmadli4868 Hey Nihad,
The electrical engineering degree in general is one of the most robust and popular degrees as it is without a specialization in any one thing.
Given that EE focuses mainly on two big variables: power and controls, I would say (and this is just my opinion) having a specialization in it can go both ways. In your favor, you are focusing heavily on one of the two main pillars, which means your knowledge and understanding of it will surpass most especially in the nitty gritty details. A possible negative is the same thing: you are focusing hard on one of the two main pillars of EE, instead of widening your knowledge base with an alternative specialization such as signals or microelectronics.
Either way, power is a great specialization to pursue - in my opinion. You won't have trouble finding a job - IF you get a Co-op position with a company while you're pursuing your degree. Hiring companies look VERY favorably upon students with ANY experience before they graduate with their B.S.E.E. Most companies will take a B/C student with experience over a straight-A student with zero experience. Trust me on that one.
Why am I watching this: I'm starting to think that the worst decision I made my life was to have a bachelors and Masters in Aerospace engineering from England. Its been 2 years now and no one would employ me. I returned from England to live in a 3rd world country where they have no business with Aerospace engineering. I could have stayed back in the UK and break immigration rules but I chose to always stick to rules but now I'm stranded, basically no life, everyday is emotional distress for me . So a piece of advice is if you're from a 3rd world country, choose wisely, things are different when you get back home and no one cares about you. Ps. I graduated as a top student as well. Anyways keep Trying! Never stop!
Thanks Toole đ
It depends on which country you're in. It's really marketable in Kenya.
never loose hope my friend one day along the lines you will make it
I little bit can't understand your frustration. Why would you stick only to aerospace career? What you need to do, is go at entry level job engineering in any different career path. Look for construction site, manufacturing, IT engineering. Find what field is OK in your country, go to that company. if they iterwew you, tell them your story. Say you work hard and good learner. Say them you redy to work for little money but you want to gain good experience.
Your mistake was returning to a third world country with an masters in aerospace engineering . You should've stayed and fixed your status and then get a job ... like come on why would you go back home ..
Welding Engineering Technology student here. I have a couple thoughts. Just because something isn't popular doesn't mean that it isn't good or useful or lucrative. The reason Welding Engineering is not popular is because welding as a trade can be SO lucrative, and so no welder wants to go to college and due a ton of math, physics, and chemistry. On top of that, being skilled at welding takes a lot of time and skill, most students would rather get a manufacturing engineering degree and not suffer through the welding classes and hands on experience you need to achieve the minimum skill level. That being said, welding engineering can pay very well. Most of my friends who have graduated have had starting salaries around $75,000, but some have had starting salaries up to 95,000 (that guy got a job working on navy submarines). And that is fresh out of college!
Dude, I was about to choose biomedical engineering but then I decided to choose computer engineering
Good choice
But computer engineering is about construct.... The true computer focused degree it's Electrical Engineering. It covers computers and software. And everything in between and around a computer..
@@ronjohn200 Iâm undecided and a freshman in college. I really love code and computers. However, Iâm stuck between computer science (the only computer major my college offers), and electrical engineering. What would be a good choice?
@@sunflowerlight2067 if you want to pursue programming and software then you should pursue computer science.
@@machirim2805 Ok, thanks!
Engineer here.
Steer clear of any "engineering technology" degree. They're not real engineering degrees! They're not ABET-qualified and many employers won't recognize them and that includes DOD (which hires tens of thousands of engineers.)
Good luck Alex!
What about the ones that are?
Why so? Please elaborate
Yeah you might be right
Its good that I stopped before I actually enrolled
I'm looking into getting a better job
And figuring out what I want to do with my life
I dropped out of college for software development
Got a second job
To pay off the debt
I work two jobs all the time

It's a lot of work
Same as the dishwasher
It's kinda frustrating
I've been thinking about engineering
Or design
Drafting and cad
I will go to a tech school
For mechanical design
And then go to college for
Engineering
I looked at the website
And the engineering degree
Is engineering technology
It's more about soft skills
Than hard skills
If you know what I mean
Its more project management
Than anything
I should have just stayed with tech
Cause programming jobs are very flexible
And people are hired with there skills
Computer science is a very popular degree and very important
Tech schools do a good job with teaching in demand skills
And programming is one of them
They also have computer science degree transfer options
Tech pays a lot of money
It's pretty much if you do engineering
There are very specific requirements to do it
And if you can't meet those requirements than you can't be an engineer
I've been reading some stuff and hearing from a lot of people
That you don't need to go to college to make a lot of money

@@037_cse_jananir7 NCEES won't recognize an engineering technology degree when you apply for professional licensure.
Engineering technology is a great choice if you want to start your career after college and not stay in academia. You take the same EIT/FE exam to become a professional engineer
Did you get a Bachelors in Engineering Technology?
I think you meant PE vs. FE exam(?).
When it comes to engineering and engineering technology degrees(bachelors), it's best to stick with electrical, mechanical, computer and civil.
What about engineering management I donât even know wth that means but I saw it at SJSU. Currently I am at a community college and going with Business Administration mainly because I liked the jobs it described.
@@jessicam522 thats where the moneys at, although i'd do a bach in one of the major degrees then move into eng managment as a Msc
What about mechanical engineering in technology? Is it valid?

Sad to see my major (Environmental Engineering) is present here (ïžčïžș) , gotta disagree a little bit as my school offered some minors in Civil Engineering so perhaps my major isn't too niche at all and environmental engineers in my country, a third-world country, are pretty much non-existent. Thanks for the info though, truly appreciate it.
Thanks for watching Muhammad
What country?
Side note: anything that's "engineering technology" likely isn't accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission, but rather the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission. So if you'd want to get your Professional Engineer certification, it would take twice as much work experience to qualify. Eight years instead of four. That's if they're accredited at all. If not, then they're pretty much worthless.
True, I don't think most people look into that sort of thing before going to college in a lot of cases. Cheers
@@ShaneHummus funnily enough, looking back at the timeline, it was exactly 3 years ago that i went into college for a Computer Engineering Technology degree.
As far as my research showed back then, the school was accredited by ABET, so i thought it was fine. I didn't think to even look what part of ABET accredited the engineering program.
Welp, i mean, maybe if i get a MS in Comp Eng, (the actual one, from a normally accredited uni), it will be alright?
I mean, on one hand, i really don't care about spending 8 instead of 4 years on becoming a professional, but it still matters to me that it'll take twice the time.
What are your thoughts? (am i even looking for advice, 3 years into a 4 year BS program?)
â@@NerdyCatCoffeeee You would need to look into the requirements of the particular state you want to become a PE in. In NY, for example, Engineering Technology degree holders require 6 years of additional work experience to take the PE exam as opposed to 4 years for traditional Engineering degree holders. A two year difference really isn't huge in terms of a career. The FE exam can be taken by either degree immediately after graduating. Different states have different requirements, and a few states won't allow Engineering Technology degree holders licensure at all, though many do.
Unfortunately it's a topic you need to do a lot of your own research on, as there is a lot of bad information out there flying around regarding Engineering Technology degrees. Some people will speak with authority on the degree not understanding the difference between an unaccredited engineering tech Associates degree and an ABET accredited BSMET.
Awesome video bro! You covered some really important points about choosing an Engineering degree.
Glad you liked it!
âEngineering Technologyâ degrees are not real engineering degrees. You are awarded a bachelors in technology (B.Tech) not a bachelors in engineering (B.Eng).
Right
The curriculums are the same as engineering degrees fyi
@@LuisSanchez-yu8lo no they are not, technology degrees use algebra, based physics and math and also do not have as rigorous engineering courses. They are not the same.
I just want to say that while I genuinely do like your channel (like a lot) I do think that you can be a little harsh to biomedical engineering. While I completely understand that you're basing everything you're saying off of the numbers, I do think that there is a lot of growth happening in this field that hasn't been reported yet. I'm speaking as a BME grad who landed a 6 figure job out of college in my field (building robots basically), so I am definitely biased. I just wanted to throw that out there but I am a really big fan of your channel!
Thanks for sharing your insights on this Suki
Environmental engineering here. Problem isn't really that. As environment has lots of problems, you have a large amount of subjects, but not enough practical skills to solve any of them. For instance, you get jobs in any type of industry since everybody needs to comply with environmetal laws, but in order to really help them you need a master's degree in something they need. p.e. help them with them with safety regulations, treat their waste or waters problems. So if you love the environment and want to study this, please make a plan from the beginning to get useful certifications, internships and networks or b study either chemical/mechanical/civil engineering and then do a master's related to environmental issues.
It must be fucking pain to here people say "climate change is fake"

Shane,
Can you cover engineering technology degrees (example - EET 4 year BS) and how they relate to normal engineering degrees? Many people confuse them and some of the job outcomes are very similar in some fields. Also, I noticed that many smaller universities will offer these before getting a ABET engineering program, yet advertise them as if they are the same degree. Keep up the great content!
Noted.. Thanks for your feedback
Even after getting the ABET accreditation, employers will rip you a new one for being ETAC and not EAC accredited (within ABET). It's like going to an for profit college vs regional accredited college and trying to transfer credits. Colleges won't accept for profit credits and employers won't accept ETAC (technology) degrees.
I should have gone to nursing school instead..lol

The number/percentage of high school graduates going to college has been swelling since the 1960's as more people went colleges and universities they had to lower the requirements to graduate. Four things destroyed the engineering programs since the Space Race: 1) the Calculator replaced the slide rule, 2) The computer replaced the Drafting table, 3) Summer work in the trades is frowned upon, 4) The reliability of the automobile went up so the average student in engineering has lost the ability to see the conceptual side of Science and Technology - Mentioning this usually makes people crossed eyed but those who worked slide rules were much more mentally involved in the problem at hand. Most of the programs you mentioned here the people studying them would be better off going into the Military to get some tech training or apprentice program to get some real skills and knowledge
That's a sensible insight. cheers!

@@myth1c4lz yes, I did before I graduate. Also, to be eligible for internships you have to be enrolled in a program in Ontario. I started calling companies offered to do unpaid work as a volunteer also to no avail - everything is systemic
there is a BS Geothermal Engineering course offering in my country, just saying.
I am BS Mechanical Engineering graduate and landed as Welding Engineer here in middle east country. I would say, it is very challenging job specially in power and processing plant construction. As a welding engineer, you must have wide knowledge on metallurgy and understanding on electro-mechanical & mechatronics which can be used on research for automation of welding process. As of now manual welding process is still existing, so that is why there is still in need of welders up to this year. So future mankind whoever read this, yes welders are people who did welding works and not robots.
Thank you Shane. I really respect your opinion on the engineering subject which is based on statistics.. I would argue a little bit about environmental engineering. I'm currently working with a group of environmental engineers. I am a cheme btw. And they really do some interesting jobs that target specific areas for example oil contaminated soil. I'm currently helping design methods for this purpose.
Nice.. Good luck Alex
Where are you??
Us
Had a professor tell the class that only 20% of people in his college graduating class who had started as engineering students graduated with an engineering degree. That number's higher now, but it's still super low. A lot of people drop engineering or even drop out of college because it's such a hard program.
True
I was going to go into BME before realizing it's not a great degree and I was going into it for the wrong reasons. Switched to computer science and haven't looked back.
Nice
BME is super niche.
The companies in the industry do fairly well as medical services are in solid demand. However the number of employers are limited and you have to be good at it.
Once you make it, it's good.
Also man, my goal is to get into cybersecurity but Iâm going for a CS degree because most cybersecurity majors are pretty garbage because the donât cover the right subjects and they are outdated. Thereâs a reason why infosec pros are always taking new certification exams. And it really varies from college to college, thereâs no standard.
Thanks for sharing that Ben
My uncle some 45 years ago received an electrical engineering technology (b.s) and was an electrical engineer with NASA and a consultant for 35 years.
Great vid! Also, I didn't realize how many of these engineering degrees I haven't even heard of. Academia sure wants our money.
Right Trevor. Business is business for them
Thanks a lot for these videos ShaneâŠu are really saving students and making them to make wiser decisions. Some people think that Uni/Colleges got their back, and that all the courses they offer worth it, whilst thatâs not the case. Keep doing what you do, and thanks once again.
A lot of universities and colleges take advantage of young people's ignorance. I did an internship in an energy company for a year and was told "your smart but don't have much applicable knowledge." I return to my university for my final semester and tell my professors and they say "we can't teach you that." Fyi, my university had a mandatory internship program were you had to complete 16 months if internship to get your degree (btw, internships were not guaranteed and was your responsibility to obtain).
Whatta scam
what school was this
I'm a young civil engineer and will have my PE license within a year. I would encourage any high school student to go for an ABET accredited engineering degree. An ABET engineering degree is the only degree that will allow you to get any license. You cannot become a professional engineer without an ABET degree, but with one you can still go to med school, go to law school, get an MBA, or continue progressing as an engineer. The opportunities are unlimited at graduation. If you study biology, chemistry, math, business, English, history, etc. you cannot earn a PE license. I do not consider engineering technology degrees to be engineering degrees. They are more trade programs for support roles to engineers. It's like calling nurse practioners doctors. Engineering school like anything is about persistence. If you are not persistent you will never succeed. Work hard. Luck is for losers.

Not quiet. CS and CE, you could easily learn coding from CZcams tutorials! You really have a short vision on what engineering is!
You are just being stupid. Engineering degrees are overall great. No need to say that computer science and computer engineering are the only two good majors. Everyone is majoring in cs nowadays that it is becoming the most competitive shit. Also, it is not hard. It is basically getting a degree from youtube tutorialsđ. Second, concertina business degrees. They all not that good. I would say that people should go for econ which is a social science that can be applied in business fields. Econăăă any business degree.
@ Thank you for your reply!
I agree with you that cs is growing in terms of demand, but you need to look at the number of people graduating each year. This degree is now considered as one of the most competitive ones out there. The quantity supplied of cs grads is growing exponentially especially in the last 2 years. As with every major, the demand will eventually slow down. Also, concerning that you can learn economics online, it is not the case. You can learn Micro and Macroeconomics online no doubt. However, learning econometrics and advanced micro and macroeconomics/ most of the 2nd and 3rd-year major courses can't be found online as the material is heavy, and discussions must take place during the lectures. Most Cs courses can be found online. You can easily learn java, c++, Web development, python, R, STATA... online. I need to ask for your advice, should I major in economics and minor in data science? why?
To those aspiring to venture into the field of biomedical engineering, my advice is to not let the focus on biology overshadow the importance of traditional engineering skills. From welding to programming, it's crucial to build a diverse skill set from the outset. I've made it a point to learn about various roles within the industry, which has significantly enhanced my versatility and marketability to potential employers. Embrace every learning opportunity, and you'll find yourself well-equipped to support any aspect of an organization.
I've worked in automotive, pharmaceutical, and now med device. (I think med device is the best industry.) Few people are capable of actually getting jobs in this industry and even fewer truly understand what all the documentation will be used for. Then when we're talking about people who do understand, only a tiny fraction of them will also understand how to force bits on a PLC to test a specific I/O for validation scripts. You're golden if you are well rounded with hands on skills and degreed in this field.
I didnât know that some of these degree existed lol

The sector that I worked at used outdated technology we always tried to integrate it with new technology and that always causes issue don't get me wrong, at that time we hope the leadership would listen to us but hey were just bunch of nerds. The 2yrs that I worked there were constantly doing patching and hot fix, and too much convincing that we need to upgrade. The sector that I worked before had tons of money it was just too much politics. When finally were approved for upgrades, right after we completed the upgrades I was gone.
Great video!! I just got into UPenn Engineering but am still vacillating between bioengineering and chemical engineering cuz Iâm planning to apply to medical school after undergrad. UPenn is known for bioengineering but not chemE even tho they are both ABET accredited. This video kinda stopped me from doing bioengineering đ€Ł cuz rlly if I change my mind, Iâll still be able to get a decent job with a chemE degree.
i like how theres average salaries posted but all the engineers who are making real money arent engineers anymore, they are running companies
Computer Engineering vs Electrical Engineering , what should I choose for my major ?
I'm also confused bro
Their both extremely and ultra difficult and pay just depends on where you live. Your better off living in the suburbs making $90K than in the city making $120K
@@Naomi-xu4hq I agree but disagree, you're better moving to the suburbs very close to the city so you only work in the city and live in the suburbs. Since cities are usually compact and not that large anyway (take NY for example) it shouldn't be too hard to find and the commute shouldn't be that bad.
@@flwrpwr5351 by city I mean like region in San Francisco vs houston Texas
This list might be applicable to the western world, but in Singapore, engineering is sadly shunned and not very well-respected.
What degrees are respected in Singapore and pay well too?
@@dantorini63 would say, Doctors, Lawyers & Bankers.
And computing-related which is quickly on the rise although not nearly as well respected.
Videos a bit old but another bit of advice if you're going to go for aeronautical engineering. Didn't do it for your master. For my experience most companies don't care if you have a associates or bachelor's an aeronauticals on top of that most of the stuff you're going to learn is basically mechanical engineering up until you get to that Master level.
What are your thoughts on robotic engineering? Do you think itâs a good career with many job opportunities?
Stick around.. might cover it in the future
Shane Hummus - The Success GPS please dođ
Robotics/Mechatronics engineering is fairly good major depending on the areas you are willing to move to. My university offers a Mechatronics engineer degree b/c there is demand for it in the area (Lockheed Martin and Boeing manufacturing plants are really close). I would say that I recommend majoring in either mechanical or electrical engineering instead of robotics/Mechatronics b/c I feel like most robotics engineering programs donât give you very specialized knowledge over both electrical and mechanical engineering. They kinda skim through some of the really good specialized skills from mechanical and electrical engineering.
@@bloomy27 In Virginia, we have robotics teams but I have yet to see that major. My professor told us it might be huge in umm.. more important areas đ€Ł
@@bloomy27 dont major in something that specific. Major in mechanical engineering and concentrate in mechatronics, join a club and do alot of robotic projects, etc
i am a physicist who has a masters in electrical power engineering /economics (interdisciplinary degree), i am currently working as a solar engineer, i dont have huge knowledge about circuit design, but i do have strong basis about it, now guess what, i can learn all the main coureses which i missed all by myself, even better than most engineers just by watching videos and reading books, i also studying mechanical engineering all by myself, learning CAD and its all working fine for, i dont need any colleage for it, just self study
People are too lazy to teach themselves, thatâs what universities are counting on to prey on fresh meat.
Audio engineer here and is super competitive! The only way you can get placements are if your rich getting analog equipment that are expensive or you know Justin Timberlake đ
i went in for construction engineering, looks like ima have to switch to civil then.
Good luck James
I disagree on the idea that you can get a job anywhere with an engineering degree. I have an ME and employers are always thinking that I will want way too much money or leave for an engineering role once it comes around as if I was just slumming it with them. Sucks, but I feel like I canât get a job to save my life.
I respect your views Reynaldo. Cheers!
Try dumbing down your Resume for the job.
If you want to get into environmental engineering itâs better to get a civil engineering degree. The pay is good and the work is interesting. A lot of field work in the entry level positions but more office work later on. It also helps to live in California since thereâs a lot more regulations.
My dad is a eningineer and went to school all of his live (he graduated primary school at 16 because of war and other struggles) i aspire to be an engineer too
Product Design Engineering is just an arts degree pretending to be engineering...change my mind.
That's right John. đ
Well I'll give it a shot đ They take the same calculus, linear ĂĄlgebra, vibration, thermo, and material mechanics courses as ME as well as computacional courses. They Also take a course in electrical engineering (like ME's) and manufacturing and Componenta design. However on that they add industrial design courses as well as other product development courses to understand the end user đ I know since Im studying it atm đ
In fact, we share the same department as mechanical engineers and consider each other as sister programmes!
@@ariesmyth just like business degrees cover the same general content. Doesn't mean a business degree majoring in Entrepreneurship is the same as a business degeee majoring in finance. All engineering at heart are the same, its the specialisation that leads product design to being on the bottom level
@@liambraithewaite6415 I see ur point, and it's true, they can choose to specialize differently in their respective masters but Also choose the same đ but then you agree that it's engineering? (if i understood your analogy to business)
@@ariesmyth of course its engineering, its in the name. My joke about it being an arts degree pretending to be engineering is because of the design element
If people who can get engineering degrees were smart to begin with and wouldâve been successful otherwise, then why do people who get these kind of engineering degrees not end up being as successful?
These are the worst ones
@@ShaneHummus Yes, but that still doesn't explain why they're not successful if they would've been successful without the degree anyways since they were smart to begin with.
Shane why don't you make a list of best core engineering field's masters (Like the best masters degree in Mechanical engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Science engineering, etc.) I think that'll be a really helpful vid.
Also, great content man. God Bless.
Also, I am Structural Engineer (Masters of Civil Engineering) and would like to see the stats of my field as well in some of your vid.
Stay tuned for that. Thanks for the feedback
I'm currently in my 3rd year of a BME degree. It has the issue of being too general and incredibly specific. The curriculum seems to be more about how other areas of study can be used in a biomedical application. At this point I don't have a solid foundation in any area but am learning to apply knowledge I don't really have. I think it's a good major for me because I didn't know what general area I wanted to go into and just knew I liked physics, biology, and was well suited to engineering. I also want to do research/get a PhD so I'm not too worried about poor job prospects directly out of undergrad. I'm currently working in an image processing lab and loving learning so much about a niche topic
Thanks for sharing all these Stephanie
Try for an internship with a Medical Device or Pharma company (depending what you focused on).
Public hospitals are also an option.
Me while watching the video: Please please dont say civil engineering đ
Why is petroleum engineering not on this list? The oil and gas industry is very unstable, there are not a lot of jobs for it, and the demand is currently very low.
My take on Petroleum Engineering
What Is Petroleum Engineering? (Is A Petroleum Engineering Degree Worth It?)

I think you should take a deeper look into the welding field specifically, welding engineering isn't just a singular job its basically the highest/do it all title within a fabrication/steel manufacturing setting.
Good to know. I'm glad my career interest wasn't on the list. Keep up the good work! đ
Thanks! Will do!
Please make a video about Engineering Physics .
Iâm in my final year of metallurgical and material science engineering and Iâm schocked that there is welding engineering
We did solidification and welding as a module/subject in a semester
Thanks for sharing that
How is materials science engineering as a degree ? I think I want to do it
Material sciences is one of my favorite subjects. Be careful not to gauge the depth of a topic based off of your college experience. Being introduced to a subject does not make you an expert on it, nor that you covered all of it. Welding engineering is the confluence of electrical, mechanical & material sciences. Each of these disciples is very important, and their interaction at the weld warrants another specialization.
There is a lot that seems to be unknown about welding, (as evidinced by your comment) which is what makes specialists in it valuable. Here is a good source on the topic, note the author has worked as an engineer, engineering manager and senior welding engineer with engineering technology education. weldsparks.wordpress.com/2018/06/25/on-shoulders-of-giants-part-2/
I want to study that, would you recommend some of the top languages to learn?? that can help you to get a job? like the most requested, German maybe?
Beware! When some job titles have engineer in them, their content may be dubious. For example, product support engineer can refer to a huge range of products, and if the job is located in a call center, customer calming and anger mollification may be more common professional tasks than anything engineering.
Have you heard the phrase "read the friendly manual," sometimes acronymized as RTFM? It was invented by a real engineer, but the spirit of the phrase has pervaded more call centers than can be quickly counted. Again, beware!
Good point thanks for sharing that
Still waiting for that law school videođ
Noted. stay tuned
I graduate from Construction Engineering major in CA, our starting pay working for General contractor is 75k and pretty much everyone in my school get a jobđ€· btw I have EIT and about to take my professional engineer test the end of this yearâŠ..and yes, not all the school construction degree is eligible for PE license but the one eligible is the one worth studying.
I work in the construction fields and construction engineering tech is really important, they make lots of money
Thanks for your input
The union tradesmen will get more money with you with less work and stress and hours.
@@tommak6516 yes, union workers will probably do less work. The union protects them from accountability. And their high wages are propped by a legal monopoly. At least non union is an honest living...
"Engineering Technology"== engineering without DiffEq
That is just an Associates certificate.
4 year engineering technology degrees do take differential equations
Welding engineer here itâs a great career if you live in SoCal or Texas
Does anyone have any thoughts on Metallurgy and Materials Engineering?
same
Petroleum engineering probably should be on the list. No oil majors are hiring, since most people aren't even traveling, so oil prices remain pretty low.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this
All of em. I can't relate to the statement engineering degrees are hard to get. A Doctorate of Medicine is hard to get. I have a Civil Engineering degree and it was fairly easy. The thing about it is you never do anything interesting. There are interesting aspects to Civil but you won't be doing it practically in your everyday job. Do something great with your life. Don't do any type of Engineering. Extremely overrated. Get a General Applied Science degree and go after the specific role you want. I left my job in the office to do inspections out in the field if that tells you anything. It's much more practical.
As an engineering student, here are the keys. First, ABET accrediting is absolutions essential. If the school isnât ABET accredited donât waste your time. This is because ABET has a basic math and science requirement. So if your âengineeringâ degree doesnât include differential equations and physics 2 itâs not an actual engineering degree. I donât have the time to look it up but I can bet that the only two degrees on this list that meet those requirements are biomedical and environmental. Anything with the word technology in the title is not worth your time, isnât really a true engineering degree and if these subjects really interest you go the two year associates degree route otherwise suck it up and get a real engineering degree. Love your videos Shane. Keep up the good work.
Great input here, thank you!
I'm an electronics and communication engineering student i don't even know if my course exist in some countries but as far as I know electronics and communication engineering have a similarities with electrical engineering but differ in some educational curriculum
Hey can you make a video on Major in Management Engineering?
Your vids are so helpful!
Noted
This is Industrial Engineering.
Video is as always good...
The reality in Azerbaijan...You need to score well in test to attend college
1.The Electrical Engineering in one college (200 score out of 700)
2.The Process Automation Engineering in another college(675 score out of 700)
Thanks for sharing that
Why are you including two-year degrees in the same list as four-year degrees?
ok, so groundbreaking revelation: random degree name + engineering + technology = bad
Agreed
Me watching this during my 1st year in Civil engineering
Getting ready for the winter? đ

Engineering is supposed to be hard. If you have civil engineers that passed their classes too easily, all the bridges and tunnels across the world would collapse. Itâs complicated subject material.
Right ben
Hey Shane great video ! Can you do one on engineering technology ranking all of them and explaining engineering technology a little more ?
Noted Allen. cheers!
There would be too numerous to count. LoL
As a bit of a warning to newcomers: If your Engineering degree is appended by the term âTechnologyâ, itâs not really engineering, and youâd likely end up testing and soldering for just $15/hr (ex.: Electronics Engineering Technology).
In which case, managing your finances might end up your most important and frequently used skill.
I was hoping to see something on Mining engineering.
Please can you talk on that when next you're discussing engineering.
Mining engineering and welding engineering subjects are covered in metallurg
y/materials engineering. Maybe its better if you choose it instead.
I like that you used runescape as a reference for hard mode.
Hey Shane. I live in the Caribbean and the only 2 sectors that are good in my country are health care and engineering but I want to do computer science which isn't that profitable here. Would it be a smart choice to still do computer science and try to get a job in the US? Covid has me confused because people here are saying that getting jobs away would become rare
CS is here will give you lots of opportunities.. Plan it out.. Good luck
Hopefully you can move out?
@@RMatt2016 yh getting out is the tough part.
Great, thank you so much Shane.
