Different Field Same Purpose

Engineering is one of the most broad majors in the entire world. Not only are there hundreds of ways to go about the field currently but that number keeps increasing. As our world evolves, new things are being made and in order to maintain these things, new engineers are a necessity. This is both good and bad because it's great that new things are being created but it is also a lot of work. Things get made and there are not enough engineers to tend to that product/company which is why the demand for engineers is currently so high. This is good news for future engineers like ourselves because it shows that after college, getting a job will not be difficult. When engineers are asked what their career path is going to be, the secondary question by mostly every person is "What kind of engineer?" For a person like me, it's a really difficult question to answer because I haven't made up my mind so I never know what to say. This goes along perfectly with the reason why many engineers turn away from the field. Although there are many different areas to go into, sometimes it is just too stressful and people decide engineering is not the right choice for them. The other thing I like about all the engineering options is perfecting a certain part of it. In my opinion, I would much rather focus on a little part of the field and master it rather than knowing a little about the entire field as a whole. There are becoming enough engineers in the world where each one is able to become knowledgable with one part which in the ends helps our society. With more engineers perfecting little parts, new things will continue to be discovered, made, and fixed more efficiently.
