Jessica Nelson Assignment 5
I definitely want to pursue engineering as a career. I have a talent for math and, dare I say, I even enjoy it sometimes. I think physics is cool too and engineering is at it's core physics and math so it's a perfect fit. I haven't decided which area of engineering to focus on yet but I am looking into civil, mining, or electrical. Definitely not chemical though because me and chemistry are not a good pair. My top two choices of schools to pursue engineering at are University of Michigan and University of Louisville for now. The plan at the moment is to do the speed school at UofL and end up with a masters degree in engineering in 5 years but that makes it all sound a lot simpler and more figured out than it really is. I'm sure plenty will go wrong and that it will all eventually be ok, I'll just have to engineer some solutions along the way :). I settled on engineering mostly due to it aligning with things I'm good at but practicality was a factor too. For years I wanted to be a teacher. I love kids and helping people but I was pushed away from that by adults telling me that it was not a sound financial choice and that I had more potential and gifts than would be utilized as a teacher. As an engineer money-wise I should be pretty happy and successful too -- here's to hoping.
