1. Work hard.
2. Do a relevant Masters in your industry.
3. Do not be wedded to a company. 2-3 years max for the first 10 years of your career.
4. Negotiate salary HARD when you have the opportunity.
5. Be nice, make friends.
6. Drive Porsche.

What'd I miss? 😀

He's right. Graduating in the fall at 33 with a wife, 2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats. It would have been much easier to finish school in my twenties. Just get it done.

I've got a EE degree. One thing I'll say is that if you pursue the more obscure/difficult fields (RF/Embedded systems), you end up being surrounded by snobs with a habit of overcompensating. It makes you more valuable when things go wrong, but you'll have very few friends in the industry because they're all protective of their positions and knowledge.

Another thing to say is that after your first job, do not ever put up with disrespect from coworkers or your boss. Ever. If you do, you'll find that everyone will begin dumping their emotional frustration on you like it's highschool. It will impact your career and you will leave the company. If they threaten to fire you for pushing back, just leave. Being an engineer means you have options. It puts you at the front of the line for any job you want.

I just graduated in May in Civil Engineering and had an amazing friend group and we all stuck through it and all succeeded. Now we all have awesome jobs and just recently started full time about a month ago in land development. Its all about who you know, I met someone at the gym and he just happened to be an engineer and offered me an internship once I became a junior. Once I became a junior he hooked me up with an interview and I interned for a year and a half and got a full time offer. NETWORKING IS SO IMPORTANT!

Watched for the car, stayed for the advice.

Not a lot of content like this on social media, this is priceless to me, thank you.

[antoniorios]

One thing that I appreciate from this video, start with your dream.

[randommunching]

Dude is living the life, dream car, amazing job, and able to communicate what he has learned to everyone effectively

[xnemiersx]

This right here is life advice worth more than a pile of self help books and videos.
I'm an engineer with a PhD, 40 year old, working on aircraft prototypes. Everything you're saying is spot on. More young people should hear this.

Dude I’m just about to go into engineering and this video is just what I need. I’ve been a mechanic for 3 years now and i’ve made the switch in hopes of a better future. Thank you so much.

[dashelrubin-stencel]

Going into my first year of community college fresh out of high school for mechanical engineering. Some problems right now but all that makes is perspective. Nowhere to go but up, you've given some of the best advice I've heard. Hope you have a great day bro.

[ChristopherTravis-vd]

This has to be one of the greatest videos I’ve ever watched on YT no BS. So helpful for my current situation. Thanks

I’m a senior engineer as well, and I’ve made similar leaps like you in my career and kept a lot of this information in my head and always wanted to make a video like this so good looks and good luck! Love your Porsche

[theobaer]

Please make more POV drives with dialogue giving advice or just generally talking about life, this is an amazing format.

[AcrobotMovies]

I like that sometimes when you're revving YouTube's captions say "[Music]"

I'm about to turn 27, currently a welder in the defense industry and I've watched/listened to this 3 times or so in the last 2 weeks. Our engineers have been some of my favorite people to work with directly and I'm now researching and seriously considering getting a degree.
