      @@grantgudmann272 Hey Grant. I LOVE your first comment man. I was just rereading it to my girlfriend sitting right now. And its funny how you said "we" :) I'm curious which part of your career plan (which I think is great by the way) is what you are asking about. I learned really quickly in grad school to eliminate any chance of misunderstanding in my writing and speech, because openness to interpretation means your reader can mess something up.
      So are you asking about getting a civil engineering masters? Teaching at the college level while advancing in your career? Mechanical engineering minor? The labs? I think you are asking about teaching along the way, which I think is a cool idea. But you will probably find it difficult to become an adjunct professor at such a young age. You will be younger than most of the students as these institutions often have non-traditional students. I have never heard of an adjunct being in their 20s.
      So yeah let me know more about what you are trying to figure out and I can help you with that. Really appreciate you being a part of the community my man. Thanks again

      Hey thanks for the comment. There’s a moment in the video where
      Well here’s the thing right. There is a huge different between people in software development calling themselves software engineers, and the people who have legitimate engineering degrees and can call themselves a software engineer. It just sounds cooler to say engineer.
      Plus, software engineers design and make software. Coders and programmers and architects and developers and data scientists may never actually design and build software.

      @@JakeVoorhees Hi! Well, I have a Computer Science degree, which is technically not an Eng degree, but yes, I work in the engineering department of the Data Analytics department of a company as a Software Engineer, and I both design, architecture, and then build - we build connectors between our system and the existing tools in the company to integrate the data, also I build Business Process Automation tools to replace time-consuming user actions on our platform.
      Apart from this, I am doing part-time Masters in Data Science, and I wouldn't say that data scientists or data analysts don't build software - for each school project, I still have to design and build a system that will clean the data, transform the data, parse it in a certain way, and then analyze it using code. One of the requirements of the Analytics project is to be Reproducible, which means someone can take the same data and use the created code and will get the same insights. This code can even be deployed somewhere - so technically that's also "software". This is useful especially in the case of Real-Time or Streaming data Analysis. In the future, I plan to switch to Data Engineer or Machine Learning Engineer roles :) Both are slightly different but very exciting areas

      @@JakeVoorhees I watched their Data Science Expectation vs Reality video, and I think what they say can be applied to many jobs with 2 exceptions:
      1. Companies, where IT is not the core of the business, can not have multiple types of Data Scientists, so most of their jobs require Data and Software Engineering skills, statistics, Artificial Intelligence, Business domain knowledge, Databases, and Advanced Degrees.
      2. The nature of the job also depends on the type of data that is being analyzed. If that's some Marketing data for selling videos, obviously, someone can do a quick analysis, that does not have to be reproducible and can quickly show the insights to the managers. However, for example, I work for Pharma, so I know that most projects follow very strict guidelines, have to follow the compliance, government regulations, and the law, have to be fully unbiased, and reproducible, and properly stored since it can concern life-critical data and etc..... (you got the point) There is a difference between doing wong analysis on marketing data and selling some products to the wrong audience and then not being able to reproduce and understand why, and doing wrong analysis of clinical or pharmaceutical ingredient data....

    I've been an engineer for a long time. IMO the best undergraduate majors (in engineering or any other field) are those that give you the most options to change your mind later. Don't choose a narrow speciality when you're 20 years old and limit your choices for the rest of your life. Stick with the traditional degrees and save the specialties for graduate school or on-the-job training.

It combines elements of Mechanical Engr with Elelectical Engr, and both of those fields are well established, foundational and well worth your while. A Mechatronics degree is still relatively new, however, (at least in the US) and I'm not sure if the curriculum has been standardized, so it is difficult for me to comment on a particular program. But assuming your school does a proper job of it, Mechatronics should be a good choice. Best of luck.

She’s now a nurse anesthetist and makes roughly 2.5 times my salary. But as I said, even as just an ICU RN, she was raking in the dough. Since covid the system has been placing more emphasis on the healthcare industry, so I’d def recommend nursing to those, who find engineering isn’t their thing.

    • @JakeVoorhees

      Haha I love this comment. Mining engineering is so so so small though. There’s only 200-300 graduates per year. And marine engineering is tiny as well, not as small but under 12,000 working marine engineers and that includes the job title, “naval architect”, whatever that is.
      Sure there are more jobs for programmers and some other things that make engineering look non-S-Tier.
      But the nail in the coffin for me is this. There are two degrees that are tied for first that more CEOs have than any other degree. 20% of CEOs have a business management degree, and 20% also have an engineering degree. There are no degrees that more CEOs have.
      Plus, more billionaires hold an engineering degree than any other type of degree. Engineering is problem solving, and this skill overall trumps just about everything else. If you can solve problems, you can make a lot of money in life.

      Woot wooottttt, what a great school. Thanks so much for the comment.
      ​I'm not entirely sure if minoring in something is the way to go for engineers. There are not many "next step decision makers" who will be impressed with a minor, nor does it do much for you in general in terms of career advancement. Employers don’t necessarily choose job candidates or push people forward because of their minor. In fact, I only really encourage minors if you are super passionate about the field and it's more like an interesting hobby than work, because the minor will take time away from your engineering. That or, maybe you can get a minor in something like math where you only need 1-2 extra courses and do not need to add more university time, and you are so close already that it makes sense to add it. Otherwise, again, decision majors don't care about double majors, or minors at all.
      However, here is the good thing about minors. Say you do know what concentration or focus or sector you want to go into, then maybe a specific minor for that area will give you an advantage when entering the job market. So in your situation, maybe its okay? If its not going to add a whole lot of extra time, if you like it, etc, if everything else is a go, then go for it.
      Does this help and make sense? There is no right or wrong with minors. Just opinions :) Let me know what follow up questions you have k and I can help you with those. Cheers and thanks again!

    • @benbuckhoff4458
      @benbuckhoff4458 3 роки тому +1

      Yeah it would more so be focusing your EE electives towards Energy and then you can officially get a minor if you want without adding much more time. I’m probably gonna use lots of that time to take more CS type classes as much as I can, as you and many others have referenced that plays such a huge part in EE. So I’ll probably go for the CS stuff over the Energy stuff. Thanks so much for the reply, you have no idea how helpful your videos have been!

      There's a lot more to this then just basic statics and how much money that future career makes. I truly believe that this view has a lot due to the worker being less motivated to work, choose a future career just to make money and being bored in the job.

      @@cosmicthunderdoome5250 Nahhhhh, good question - thanks for the comment. But nope you don't need to minor in anything really. It's far more about the networking and what you do on the side for experience, your portfolio, and how many and where you have interned. Plus, there is soooo much programming in EE already, you don't really have to minor in something that is super close what your major will be. I mean, here is the one consideration. Sometimes engineers only have to take like 1 or 2 more classes for something like a math minor, or for EE, say there is a computer engineering minor that you can get with just a few more classes. That is when a minor is an easy decision, but again, no one hires someone because of their minor. Does this help and make sense?

    • @JakeVoorhees
      @JakeVoorhees  3 роки тому

      ​Heyyy thanks for another the comment. So I'm not entirely sure if minoring in something is the way to go for engineers. There are not many "next step decision makers" who will be impressed with a minor, nor does it do much for you in general in terms of career advancement. Employers don’t necessarily choose job candidates or push people forward because of their minor. In fact, I only really encourage minors if you are super passionate about the field and it's more like an interesting hobby than work that will take time away from engineering. That or, maybe you can get a minor in something like math where you only need 1-2 extra courses and do not need to add more university time, and you are so close already that it makes sense to add it. Otherwise, again, decision majors don't care about double majors, or minors at all. Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have k and I can help you with those.

      Aerospace VS Mechanical Engineering
      Hey thanks for the comment. I get a lot of “Aerospace vs Mechanical Engineering” questions. I support pure aerospace in some situations because there are a pretty good amount of jobs, 66,000 in the USA which puts it at #6 on the list. Especially if you live somewhere with solid AE industry or are willing to relocate, and you are in LOVE with the idea of working in AE for a career. I would do AE if I had to do everything over again. I'd choose AE over Civil.
      Seems like a little over 30% of Aerospace engineers have a master's about about half just have a bachelors. datausa.io/profile/cip/aerospace-aeronautical-astronautical-engineering
      You can become an aerospace engineer with either avenue, pure AE or ME with a focus in AE as a concentration. It all depends on what you want for your career.
      The benefit of doing ME is that it's more broad and you have more options. Sometimes students think they are going to love one sector, and then start a career there and don't like it. That is where the ME would be beneficial. You can always go to grad school in AE if you like to gain an advantage, and possibly find an employer to fund and support that.
      The benefit of going for AE in undergrad is that you will have an advantage over MEs if you want to get started with your career right out of undergrad, which is what I recommend. I did not go straight into working after university, and I sort of regret tha myself.
      So it's up to you. Some students are 100% set on grad school, and if that is the case, this entire decision matters much less. Also, I do not think people should go out of state and save $$$ and maybe your state doesn't even have any aerospace engineering programs, and you should just do mechanical based on financial reasons. I HIGHLY encourage you and your family to save the $$$ unless you guys are super well off and your parents are going to just pay for all of it.
      Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have. I respond to 100% of comments, cheers thanks!

      Also if I want to be a US citizen this means I need to stay in the US for more than 5 years right? If it is so, do my years as an international student count? so if it counts, I only need one more year to be a US citizen after graduation?
      As an international student who wishes to study and work in the space industry but isn't a US citizen, should I get a mechanical engineering degree because it is more flexible which means I could get a job first which is not space-related so at least I could wait till I am able to get into the space industry as a US citizen.

    I'm probably biased here as I am first year petroleum engineering student, and what you said about PE is fine, you can get into oil and gas with MechE or ChemE or any other engineering degree.
    Yes natural resources exploitation is damaging for the environment, but you never even gave these jobs a recognition they deserve. You wouldn't be talking here in front of a screen to us if it wasn't for carbon resources that fueled the industrial revolution (not to say humanity will inevitably have to switch to renewables in future).
    But then you did the same thing as Shane and just listed off all the degrees that employ less than 50 000 people as too niche arguing that you can simply branch out from one the 'major three' to them.
    I get that, but please don't tell me something like mining and geology is just a specialization of those three. Although the earth science and engineering incorporates a mix of the traditional eng. disciplines it is arguably a field of its own. Also, the higher pays in mining, petroleum and geology aren't just due to lucrative industry nature - you also don't just sit in a comfortable office in your hometown, but you constantly change places, work on field, work far from home withous seeing family and friends for brief period of time and have a little more extreme work/life balance than a usual engineering job.
    With that said, of course those engineers don't need to be any smarter than the rest of their counterparts, but they get the opportunity to travel around the world.
    In conclusion, no need to demonize fossil fuel unless you don't have a car and don't use any kind of motorised transport, majority of electronics and stoves.
    Also, no need to bash other degrees just because they aren't one of the traditional/broadest ones (on the flipside those more 'specialised' degrees have a intermix of various engineering disciplines going for them).
    Thanks for the in-depth critique of Shane Hummus' video and please let me know your opinion on these arguments if you feel like it.

    Hi jake, i was very happy to see a real engineer's insight and approach to this ranking, primarily bc i'm graduating highschool this year and i'm considering a chemical engineering degree (ps i don't live in America so hopefully there are more opportunities), do you really think a chemical engineering degree is not a good one? Bc from what i have searched, they can work in renewable energy fields as well as pharmaceutical it doesn't really have to center around oils, gas, plastics, since we're trying to include sustainability in our lives to save the planet, i would be very happy for insight🌻 thank you for the great video.

    • @JakeVoorhees
      @JakeVoorhees  3 роки тому +1

      Yeah thanks so much for such a great question. Okay so I can only really respond to this from a USA perspective, but I am not entirely supportive of chemical engineering. There are only 32,600 chemical engineers employed in the USA today, and there are over 10,000 degrees awards each year here. This mean, so many chemical engineers have to step into adjacent roles and work within some title that is not the major they studied for. Process engineering, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, plastics, food engineering - you name it. Sure its flexible and broad, but there is something very uncomfortable to see just 32,000 jobs and soooooo many degrees awarded per year. Plus, chemical engineering is usually regarded as top 3 most difficult majors based on GPA, so why even do that to yourself if you cannot get a job in ChemE?
      What country are you? Maybe you guys have a large chemical engineering sector, which in that case, all of this is finnnneee. So let me know more about your situation okay? I respond to every comment, so would love to continue to support you, cheers!

      @@JakeVoorhees thank you sooo much for taking time and replying and helping aspiring engineers, I really think you're doing an honorable job, so what makes me consider this degree is that my country (morocco) has the biggest solar energy plant in the world so that means renewable energy and sustainability will be a major powerhouse in the future, also it just opened its first chemical engineering school in 2019 and they only accept 52 students per year, so basically if i were accepted this year and after graduating with the degree i would be the third promo, and that'll mean they'll be less than 170 engineers in the whole country, moreover each group of people will lean to choose a specific field, like pharmaceutical, food, energy that creates more opportunities.. So i hope there'll be plenty of space to squeeze myself into the job market and hopefully get a job, but with considering your opinion(of which i think very highly) i'll reconsider other majors and search more. Thank you infinitely 🌻🌻

      @@hifromspacejojo6729 Hey thanks again for coming back. So are you struggling to decide where you want to intern, or are you struggling to understand how to obtain that internship once you know where to focus? Probably the later in terms of getting an internship. Most students are desperate for any experience during COVID. Here are my suggestions:
      The way to get internships or any sort of experience/opportunity or role in general is to reach out to people who already know you who may know someone working in the engineering niche that you are targeting. Examples may be a professor in that niche that you have had in the past, or a leader or officer of an engineering club/society/organization in the field you are focusing on, or someone that your family knows or a family friend, or someone you met at a job fair or conference or event in that niche, etc. Join Engineers Without Borders to get experience - there are local professional chapters you can join even if you are out of school. Go to hackathons to meet people and even build some experience.
      Anyone that you know - ask them for introductions to engineers or for informational interview opportunities if they are in engineering now (“Informational Interview Tips“ ua-cam.com/video/nxUtpzPHKjc/v-deo.html). After that, keep in touch, and then ask about internships and other opportunities. Even volunteer roles nowadays can be a good path to a paid internship. Does that make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have and I’ll try to help. Thanks!
      I will make a new video about this soon, cheers!

    I appreciate Shane's input, but you can see he isn't fluent in the math, physics and engineering field.. In one vid he said that engineering is one of the best math degrees. No. Engineering is not a math degree by far, math and engineering are fundamentally different and someone who truly loves math as a science would not be satisfied with an engineering degree. He does have a bias, but that's why you should base your decisions on many recources and not just his vids. Thanks Jake, always love to hear an engineers take on these things 👍❤️.

    I would argue in addition to what you said about Petros that they're one of the few that also allows you to work in the field and actually get your hands dirty. I'd also argue that you do get to do get to do "additionally cool things" that many of the other disciplines don't do; travel, field work, work, etc. I'd also point out that it offers the best path to a management position in any industry due to the exposure you have to "all the money flying around" as your main goal is to reduce costs and optimize systems. This level of exposure to economics is not at all common in other disciplines and is beneficial in more than just petroleum.
    You did make a lot of good points outside of that though, glad to see someone cleaned up that guy's video.

      ​@@eesaarashid1954 Great question! Yes I do believe that engineers should get to work straight away after bachelors and not go to masters degree right away. I went right into my masters program and I wish I had not. There are many reasons for this. What if you don't like structural engineering as much as you think? Then maybe working for 3-5 years will help you understand what you really want to do. Also, unless you get right to work in the industry, how will you know what to focus on for your masters? You pretty much need experience to know how to advance. Otherwise you are doing it blindly.
      So the playbook is this. Get your engineering bachelors. Work for 4 years, take the PE, achieve that. And then you have a lot of power. You can leverage that PE with your existing employer and ask if they will fund your masters degree. Otherwise, shop around. Find a company who will, because they exist.
