Don't Major in Engineering (if this is you) || Why engineering might not be for you~

Hi friends,

Today, I share with you some tips on how to figure out if engineering is for you. I know that my channel is about encouraging other people to pursue engineering, but if I am being completely honest, it is definitely not for everyone and you might be wondering how can one determine if it is for them. I hope you find value in this video and share with anyone you think needs help making up their mind on engineering!

(Summary)
Don't major in engineering if:-
1. You hate math and physics
2. You cannot handle stress
3. You can't sit in one place for hours
4. You cannot work long hours
5. You hate coding

Guys, like she said, passion is the key factor.
I graduated an Aerospace Engineering Degree with a 3.7 but wanted nothing to do with it right after graduation. Now I turn to design and couldn't be happier. Try to find something that you care about, not what you think would make good money

I don’t know if I’ll always want to be an engineer, but so far I’m three years deep in an aerospace engineering course and haven’t regretted my choices yet so I hope that’s a good sign!

I'm really watching this video 3 months before becoming an e&e engineer.

Love this! I'm a mom of 3 kids and going back to school at ASU because I've always wanted to be an engineer and a stable life for my family. Love your channel!

[JoaoSilva-zsjl]

i was so scared when i saw the title because i always thought that engineering was for me... after watching this i realized that this is what i want to do.. this is what i love ( although i have some uncertainties about the family time and that ahah)... thanks for doing this for us 🖤

[millicentmumbi]

Thank you so much.
As an aeronautical engineering student, I would also say that if your heart is not in it or you are not determined, you will have a very hard time. Some days you will feel like quitting but you have to keep going.

I regret engineering. I do not think it was worth it. One thing I reacted on especially in this video was the idea that people close to you wont understand. There will be sacrifices while studying. I lost alot of friends and alot of my spare time to the studies. My fault but still. And even when you dont study the stress will make you think about it. You know that you should put in an extra our etc.

Also an engineering degree is no more than a little +. In general I personally think you will get much further with charm/charisma, being social in general, general knowledge and determination.

I never got the dream jobs I wanted and so i sacrificed alot of time for mediocre jobs. An engineering degree today is not this golden price that I though not a few years ago and certainly not today. I will always regret going to engineering school, but unfortunately you can not change the past.

I agree MOSTLY.
My only issue is coding. I dislike coding and am not good at it either. With a Bachelors in TC Engineering and a Masters in ME, I haven't had to use it much in 20+ years in this field.
But then again we have a dedicated department of contractors and interns that does the coding for us. And I suppose it depends on where you work

What is cool about engineering after you start working is that you get to work on projects that involve the creative process and are many times at the cutting edge of technology. In your job, you are literally privileged to be working on projects others only dream about. That is how a ten or twelve-hour day can fly by. But don't get me wrong, after so many days you will get burned out. That is why you have to do something outside of work to refresh yourself. Snow skiing, hiking, dancing, etc.

Hm, i never cared much for math ever since i was a kid and through high school. But, to be honest with you i was damn good at figuring out how things worked, building legos and in high school got into automotive and performance. I have even swapped out engines and reinforced frames, etc. Then worked as a technician through my early 20s. I did all kinds of creative stuff without caring for math. Then suddenly this august at the age of 29 i decided to pursue engineering and focus on math for the first time in like, ever. Im getting the hang of math. I think I'll be ok. I dunno, something just "changed" in me....

Everyone hates these things. But you gotta do what you gotta do!! Especially if you need to move up in life. Make the sacrifice it will be worth it in the end! Tbh everything in life is not easy and we as humans want the easier way out. Now that you know what it’s all about, you have to move with grace

[rrey]

Watched more of the video and had these thoughts. In my opinion, I think if you're going to like engineering, it is going to do with what kind of mind you have, meaning how you think. For instance, if you love how an engine runs, you want to find out what is inside and how it works together. For instance, now you know how things fit together, how about the different stresses put on parts, and what temperature do they operate at? What material is the best for this application so you don't have a material failure? Really being a curious and determined person is paramount.

I did a BE(Elect) and, after 4 years supervised experience, had a great career as a Telecom engineer. Engineering is an ART, not a science. You have to put up with the bull at Varsity to qualify, then learn real engineering. I never spent hours on a computer, but hours solving real problems customers were having. A great time with a very good team of other engineers. I never completed any code in Fortran that worked during all my computer math. Coding is NOT electrical engineering but computer engineering, an entirely different beast.

I'm a junior studying Aerospace Engineering right now, and this list is super accurate.

[johnnysfunzone]

35+ years into EE. The information here is on the money. Only 1 I would add is "If you can't handle TIME MANAGEMENT". as it is CRITICAL to engineering in school and out of school.
was very fortunate in having genius and enthusiastic professors for PHYSICS and ENGINEERING MATH. They made you WANT to be in class and learn, their energy was contagious. If you can also do "hands on" then engineering makes maintenance and repair of vehicles, appliances, tube amplifiers(Ampeg SVT & Marshall & others). easier to do.
Don't forget to HAVE FUN. If you enjoy your "work" then you get paid to be happy.

[WayneKerrr]

I'm trying to go back and attempt to finish a mechanical engineering degree soon (August). I didn't do too well last attempt, dropped out. Now I work full time at a job that will reimburse tuition if I get an A in every class, the difference is this time I WANT to do it. Nervous, not sure that I can, but I will definitely try my best.

[vedoshrutiii]

2:06 this is the exact answer i wanted for my question. Am average when it comes to maths but i really enjoy physics including maths and am willing to improve myself cause am looking forward to pursue aerospace engineering❤️ also thank you sm :)
