Why People Choose Engineering

Why You Should Choose Engineering

Engineering is one of the most important majors in the world. It is also one of the oldest things. As society develops and improves, engineering makes life better than before. Studying engineering is a personal choice that only you can make; so what are the three best reasons why you should choose engineering?

#1 – Engineering can make money

        What an engineering degree worth? The average salary of an engineer in 2015 is $65,980. That's much higher than the other jobs. I think there is not many careers offer this sort of opportunity to gain experience and explore the world than engineering do. Also, it is easier for engineering students to find job than the other majors. Year after year, engineering tops the list of majors with the highest average starting salary, which means you can get a great paid job as soon as you graduate.

#2 – What you learn is more close to life

        I think engineering can offer you an opportunity that you can learn skills which you can apply anywhere. Like mechanical engineering, it's basically a branch of physics. Physics is everything in life, whether you think about it or not. Engineering covers a mathematical portion of physics. It's not physics, but it can be if you think about it enough. Engineering is also the basics of many things we do as humans. From creating buildings, to making the world wide web... That's all engineering. So I guess engineering is also another way to say "the building blocks" of human technology.

#3 – Engineering is Interesting

        Do you know engineers invented most of the things we use now?  Although it's not very easy to study engineering major, it will be very interesting when you use those skills. After you solved one problem, you will have a sense of accomplishment. You will get energy and be eager to solve another problem. Now you will feel engineering is interesting.
