so i got a question for those of you who are 25+

[Sawbladz]

excuse my OT,

sawbladz how is it doing MechE? i filled it out on all my college apps, and some of them you cant change that if you enroll with it...would be good to know what i'm getting into

I am actually in Automotive Engineering...I just never say that because people just think thats a fancy term for a mrchanic. lol. Engineering is very difficult. The biggest PITA for me is Calculus...gives me shivers just writing the word. If you enjoy math or at least can do it without tearing your hair out, you can make it through.

I've made alot of friends here because you spend countless hours with people doing the never ending stream of assignments. I wouldn't want to be doing anything else. I hope that feeling follows me to whatever job I end up doing. Maybe even....GM:aigo: .

What school you at Saws? UofT? I almost went the Mech Eng root, and I spend many nights wondering if I made the right choice not to. But I like what I do so I guess it's all good.

i'm only 23, but i'll give my input as well. i work for one of the largest liquor warehouses in New York. i recently started working days (was on the night shift- 7pm-5am) because i busted my ass. now i work 8am-4pm counting inventory all day. boring? eh, kindof, but the benefits are excellent, and the money is pretty good, too.

we just unionized, so i now have job security (not like i would have gotten fired anyway). only been with the company a year and a half.

i wouldn't say i'm happy, but i'm not dissatisfied with my job. it's easy as hell, i get off at 4pm, i have a great social life, craploads in the bank, and enough $ to put into the supra and my truck to keep me happy.

this was supposed to be an interim job until i got enough money to go back to school (which i have now), but it's getting more difficult to leave with the amount of money i make. plus, my "boss" retires in 2 years, which means that his job will be up for grabs, and my job only includes myself and him... soo... that means i'd be the head of inventory for a multimillion dollar company. (grosses $1 million+ every two weeks. )

eh, i don't know...
