Have you had the same thoughts as some other Have you had the same thoughts as some other kids?kids?
I want a career that………..• Is Enjoyable –
“How happy I will be—what’s the point of doing something you don’t like?”• Provides a Good working environment

“That I would make a difference in some way, you know, make my mark on the world.”
• Earns a Good Income
“As shallow as it sounds, money is the one thing I have to consider when I’m choosing a job. I’m not going to do something that I know can’t help me pay bills.”
• Has Flexible Schedules
“My career can’t consume all of my time…I need free time to do a lot of other things…before I die.”
You may want to consider getting a degree in engineering or engineering technology.
I know that you aren’t “one of those students". You know the geeky type. You know the geeky type.
I know that math & science may not be your best subjects yet.

Dream, Discover, Imagine and Innovate
Engineers use their imagination and analytical skills to invent, design, and build things that matter. They are team players with
independent minds who ask, “How can we develop a better recycling system to protect the environment, design a school
that can withstand an earthquake, or create cutting-edge special effects for the movies?” By dreaming up creative and practical
solutions, engineers are changing the world all the time.
