In my engineering degree tier list video where I talked about the best engineering degrees, this was one of the degrees that I mentioned. You don't necessarily want to go for the highest-paying engineering degrees because engineering majors already make really good money. If you're going to go to a university and get a college degree in engineering, realize it will be extremely rigorous unless you're a genius and for that reason, it won't be for everyone. But if you can do it you should choose the best Engineering degree FOR YOU, the Engineering degree that fits YOU the best, because most engineering degrees are good overall.

you don't have to love math or physics, you just have to be able to put the work in to understand it. The "super hard classes" arent really super hard they just require a lot of work and not everybody wants to sit down at the library and devote 10 hours a week to just one class.

[thomasmorrison]

I do not regret getting my mechanical engineering degree, but it was extremely difficult and required self discipline. I think 11 people I knew started in the study of Mechanical engineering and only 3 of us finished the degree. While I was stuck in the library studying, I could look out the window and see other people enjoying their college experience in different clubs and social events. I was jealous, but looked at the long term goal. Even in a very bad job market, I received 3 job offers before graduation and I got to participate in a co-op program and an internship in Japan.

I am a Mechanical engineer and want to share my personal experience.
To be honest with you guys; I worked on a lot of interdisciplinary projects so far
The flexibility of mechanical engineers is just amazing!
You have a clear understanding of almost anythings(CS, Mater science, Chemical engineer, and so on).

WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.

Salute to all mechanical engineers who learned fourier laplace transformation differential equations heat transfer fluid mechanics thermodynamics Engineering mechanics complex variables numerical analysis and now making ppt Excel word sheets and freelancing

[tamiabowers]

Just when I was doubting my undergrad MechE status. Bless

[gybx]

I would recommend that young Mechanical Engineers learn AutoCAD 2D and especially SolidWorks 3D CAD systems. Mechanical Engineers who can do analytical or even just packaging design work with SolidWorks make huge money and have great job security.
Also, be fluent in basic industrial wiring and electrical engineering parts.

The strength of Mechanical is that it gives you a foundation to specialize into almost anything. Want to drift into civil, you can do that. Want to drift into Aerospace, go right on in. It's like the swiss army knife of engineering disciplines, however that is the main issue with it. By itself, it doesn't necessarily get you a high paid job right out the gate, but what it does it get you into a TON of different places. If you understand that going in, then Mechanical is great. It's just don't expect the high end salary that you might get as petroleum engineer or something right out of school.

[Eljefe]

Let me tell you. I graduated HS with a 2.7 GPA. then I went to Community college, graduated cum laude. To finally transfer over 4 year university for Mechanical Engineering with a 3.46 Gpa. You don't have to be smart, all you need is to put in the time and work, and plus you get help from your professors and classmates.

Elon Musk said on who he would prefer to hire, Smart people tend to be lazy because they are already smart, they don't need to work hard. But Hard worker people are the ones that beat talented people.

Talent gives you an edge. but without hard work, talent is nothing.

Good luck to everyone. 😎💪

So, I'm well into my third year as a mechanical engineering student and I'll say that you don't have to be "smart" to go into mechanical engineering. My best advice is don't do it for money. Don't do it bc a family member wants you to. Find an intrinsic motivation or meaning behind why you want it. Once you want it bad enough your school will teach you everything you need to know. Like I said you don't need to be smart, but you will need to sacrifice a lot of things like free time. But if you genuinely love what you do, this burden will feel small.

[jacobrhodes]

I'm currently in my last year of the Mechanical Engineering Program. Just chiming to confirm how dedicated and demanding the major can be. Be prepared to do a lot of Math and Physics. I chuckled a little bit when it was mentioned of having black rings around my eyes from sleepless nights studying.

[小山春樹Harumi]

I am mechanical engineer, chose this branch because I love doing numericals, when I devoted my time into this i easily reached my masters in prestigious college with minimum effort. Being a girl everyone thought it was a bad idea to study this but I understand this a lot better 😊😊

[Dobriden_dobriden]

ME are very versatile engineers, probably *the* most versatile. They are jack of all trades and even master of some. You'll be great at solving FEM, CFD problems, mechanism design, machine operation/repairs and CAD which will be your main areas, but you'll also pick up some electrical stuff, a bit of coding(fortran, python or C++ are needed for making CFD solvers for example) and you can branch out to other technical fields with relative ease. If you're undecided as to which engineering program you want to pick up, ME is a safe bet. For me personally it was very challenging, but satisfactory in the end. There are some killer courses like Dynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Vibrations and Strength of Materials where you have to work your azz off and solve hundreds of problems at home/in the library, but as long as you put in the good hard work, you're gonna make it.

[mugito]

Keep in mind engineering degrees are pretty versatile especially mechanical. My best friend is an aerospace engineer and a lot of his coworkers are mechanical engineers that work in aerospace

[WayTooUnderated]

With my mechanical engineering degree and some self-learning I was able to land a top-tier tech company role for data engineering out of graduation. ME gives you a solid base in Math and Physics which I believe is a great foundation for learning abstract disciplines.

[aniltoor]

Im already in Mech Eng but I just need motivation to not procrastinate fml

[andrewjosiah]

I’m currently studying engineering and it’s great and I’m enjoying it, but its definitely a difficult degree to conquer with all the studying and time management you have to make to stay on top of everything.

[landonlem]

Currently a junior in my 1st semester in mechanical engineering. This is a degree for people who are open to putting in a lot of work for classes that require a lot of self motivation.

[RamonGarcia-pwlh]

It's the base of many other engineering degrees. And also, it's very versatile. You can either work in the automotive or aerospace industry, for example

[derimik]

I'm a second year ME student, and I love this degree. There are so many things we are studying, and so many challenges. Of course its hard, but I think too that it will pay off in the future. I want to specialize in materials technology later on. Greetings from Europe 🇪🇺
