Hey Jake. Is it possible for civil or structural engineers to find employment in fields that don't exactly relate to their studies such as the automobile, aviation and firearms industries.? 🤔
Hey is it possible for u to do another video more in depth about industrial engineering? I like the field but there isn't much videos on YT that go further than just explain what it is .
wow, this is the first time when I see a real engineer calling software devs "engineers" as well. Being a software engineer myself, I am really pleased to hear that :)
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. So which one are you? Are you a software engineer? Cheers and thanks again, let me know what follow up questions you have and I can help you with anything okay? Thanks !!
@@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
Hey thanks so much for all this insight! Really appreciate the comment. Eventually, I'm going to do a video about data science. I'm particularly interested in the fact that Matt Tran's #1 video is about data science with Joma, and I am very interested in continuing to make videos with different perspectives than people like Matt, so I saved your response in a doc and may include it. Can I get in touch with you about more data science things in the future? Thanks so much, cheers! Let me know if there are any career questions I can help you with ok? Thanks
@@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....
Nice! Congrats and thanks for the comment. Really glad you said that. So what are you trying to figure out next / what is on your mind about EE? Cheers and chat more soon, I respond to 100% of comments, later!
@@JakeVoorhees I was also accepted to thr 49th world ranked university in electrical engineering. there was 3 options for the major, CE IT or EE. I was quite arbitrary about this tho
@@josechristianabraham1148 dang okay well do you like programming and theoretical math and situations? That’s the main difference between EE and others. You cannot see electricity or magnetism and you need to become a good programmer. EEs take arguably the most challenging math compared to other engineers. Thanks again for the comment! Let me know if I can help w anything k cheers
@@JakeVoorhees To be honest, out of all mathematical subjects , Theoritical one such as Probabilities and discrete math is the one that I struggle the most. However, I do think it is because my limited experience on the subject, not my interest. I Also struggle in Electric and magnetism , Although I do think I had the same problem as aforementioned subject
@@JakeVoorhees Thanks for the response! I'm an incoming junior studying civil eng -- I am pressing the brakes a bit with this online semester bc of a personal rule that I wouldn't take any "real" labs online -- it works out because I'm taking a mechanical engineering minor, mostly thermal and energy centered. I hope to get a masters degree and then teach at the community/city college level to sustain myself while I continue to progress down that relative path -- Do you have any videos on this? Would you be willing to make one? Or do you have any advice right now? THANK YOU. Okay, extra context: Current classes: Thermo, Dynamics, Python (basically), Machinery Design * Considering dropping that last one... (it's not even on my registrar, just looks fun but I want to work!) * Mostly ME classes this semester (besides overlap courses) bc I'm ahead relative to certain areas in my degree
@@josephkitchen3059 Nice, I'm glad about your outlook. I'm making a video next on my tier list and I'm not that encouraging of BME. Maybe it's too harsh and maybe a bunch of BMEs will be upset, but we'll see. I can't understand why there are 7000 degrees added to the industry each year and only 21,000 jobs? I'd love to have your insights honestly. I guess so many BMEs end up working in some role that isnt a BME then right? Thanks and hope to chat more about it soon, cheers
@@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
I watched that video a while back and remember being super discouraged because I was unsure if I wanted to stay in mechanical engineering. Glad to have someone support engineering because most videos seem to just discourage it. Junior in ME right now and excited for the opportunities it will provide!
Yup! Those people suck bruh so stick with it. You can do anything you want with a mechanical engineering degree. Have you seen my ME videos?

As an engineer student, I'm so glad I ran into on RUclips! You are very informative and you actually helped me understand the many paths I can take as I get my degree. Thank you!
Thank you so much!! I made this follow up video by the way, and several more that can help you choose the specific concentration within the big 3 engineering majors. “Best Engineering Majors | Engineering Degree Tier List” ruclips.net/video/nfayHVJlKgQ/видео.html . “Mechanical Engineering Job Tier List” ruclips.net/video/ghxBLeEX_OM/видео.html . “Electrical Engineering Job Tier List” ruclips.net/video/6r3hG_zA8d8/видео.html "Civil Engineering Job Tier" List ruclips.net/video/Q8ls52m18gQ/видео.html Does this help?

@@JakeVoorhees thank you!! Since I'm currently working in building automation, I enjoy working with controls and programming so I feel electrical engineering would be my best bet. But I'm still researching. Would you recommend electrical engineering?
You are welcome. Electrical Engineering is the best engineering major to me right now. I ranked it high in my degree tier list here, and below that are great jobs for electrical engineers, and $100k+ roles in the final video “Best Engineering Majors | Engineering Degree Tier List” ruclips.net/video/nfayHVJlKgQ/видео.html “Electrical Engineering Job Tier List” ruclips.net/video/6r3hG_zA8d8/видео.html “Jobs for Electrical Engineers over $100,000” ruclips.net/video/Vi4hkCeNWs0/видео.html Let me know what I can help you with next okay?

Thanks so much! Really appreciate that. What type of engineering are you trying to do? I did a best engineering majors perspective of my own that I think could help you, “Best Engineering Majors | Engineering Degree Tier List” ruclips.net/video/nfayHVJlKgQ/видео.html Does that help? Let me know what questions I can help you with next okay? I answer everything, cheers !!
For anyone deciding; a lot of schools offer their first year as a general engineering schedule that every single first year will have and it’s great if you don’t know what you want to do. After that first year then you get to specialize or even switch out into a different STEM major because your first year is so broad
YES! Thank you for this comment. I love that universities are starting to do this. I was a first year engineer 15 years ago where I went, University of Delaware, did not have this option. But I would say 50% of the support I provide to engineering students is around choosing the right major, because its really hard to know. What did you end up going with? Let me know if there is anything I can help you with right now, and I can lend a hand for that. I respond to 100% of comments, thanks!
I’m glad you blasted him. I watched his video and laughed so hard about a year ago. I’m an ee and I work at ups as a plant engineer which is the true jack of all trades. We do civil projects, lots of electrical and mechanical and so on
I'm so glad this video exists, I watched one of Shane's videos when I first started my undergrad in 2017 and was so unsatisfied with his ridiculous content and then I watched one again today and it was still extremely ridiculous. Cheers
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.
what do you think about Mechatronics? Its a Bachelors degree here in Germany and I thought to myself that this is the best one because its not gonna limit my options when it comes to choosing my masters programm. Many thanks for the answer in advance.
@@Moos1904 I like Mechatronics - at least in principle. 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.
Heyyy what a great comment, thank you! I really appreciate that. There are so many people who are discouraging about engineering, so I'm glad to hear this. What other engineering student/career questions do you have? Let me know so I can support you there. I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!
Not in college yet, so I'm on the fence about what imma do, so vids like this help a ton (although civil engineering is my favorite and most "passionate" option so far), keep it up lol
Nice! Thanks for the comment. Well you know I'm into civil engineering haha, as that is what I chose. Have you seen my civil engineering videos? “What Do Civil Engineers Do” ruclips.net/video/FssJcjOIB7A/видео.html “Civil Engineering Have a Good Future | Good Major?” ruclips.net/video/O2eedXUxTDM/видео.html Construction Engineering sits nearby civil engineering, so make sure you watch this too, “Is Construction Engineering A Good Major | Construction Engineering vs Civil Engineering” ruclips.net/video/HHiBTH4ufYU/видео.html Let me know what questions you have and I can help you with those. I respond to every comment, cheers and thank again!
Jake- You are a model engineer. I can see your passion for your field and for helping others. I have watched your videos and love how you incorporate and feature ALL kinds of engineers including women and 'minorities' in your discussions. This is huge for students who don't see representations of themselves in engineering. Whenever I want my students to learn about engineering, I ask them to watch your videos because they are inclusive, informative, and practical. Keep doing what you are doing because your work is needed and valued. 😃😃
Wow what an amazing comment. Makes me want to cry. I’m really glad you recognize my inclusion because yes it’s quite intentional. I want women and future engineers of color to see themselves in the shoes as well. That’s why I do all of this. To help and inspire future engineers all around. So tell me more about you - are you a professor or engineering teacher somewhere? How can I help you and your students more? I’d love to chat with you, as I learn of educators here and there who utilize my videos, so if I can help you more I’d like to discover how. Thank you!
I'm studying mechanical engineering rn. I knew I wanted to do engineering but I wasn't sure what kind. It's good knowing that I can pursue other types of engineering and I'm not restricted to what's written on my degree.
Yup!! ME is probably the most diverse degree in engineering. ME or EE. Mechanical is probably more because you can design any physical components in the world for any sector or industry, and on top of that, you can learn the programming side of things. And then you can really get any job so yes. Good call on your part. Have you seen my mechanical engineering videos?

@@JakeVoorhees I'm a senior in high school and I'm really interested in mechanical engineering ( tbh only mechatronics) but I find that the EE curriculum seems more interesting. Knowing this I researched on both fields extensively and came to the conclusion that the ME classes in general seem great (statics, dynamics, CAD classes, etc) while FEW EE classes are extremely interesting.. Would it be possible for me to major in mechanical engineering and take some electives I find interesting in EE (electroncs + electromagnetism+ controls)? Would it be too much of a course load? Edit: sorry for the long msg😪
Wow thank you so much!! That’s a great comment and I’m really glad you found the video. I actually screen shot and save the favorite comments and this one made the list! What are you up to in your engineering journey or career? Let me know if you have any questions about anything and I can help you with those. Cheers and thanks again!!
@@JakeVoorheesi am a senior in hs that is going to college next year for chemical engineering, chemical engineering is really what I want to do but I hear many bad things about the degree, should I just switch to electrical?
I truly love your entire explanation. THANK YOU A LOT. I'm almost to decide what type of engineering if Industrial or Biomedical, I know you alredy explained but could you be more specific, focus on these two if is possible. I love medical field but my experience is more in manufactory area and third part hospital. What you suggest? Cause I'm looking to move to FIU for BME. Thanks, I'm glad to get to this channel. "Only if you're Engineering, you could advise people," and you were right with the comparison lol.
I just love the fact that this channel is all about Engineering so the information is much more accurate👌🏼... as a mechanical engineering student, I am much more intrested in design and computer focused jobs, rather than active and hands-on jobs. so I would really appreciate if you could make a video, going through the numbers and details of these two specific job types in mechanical engineering💥
Hey man thanks for that awesome comment. Mechanical engineering is a great career, and I think you are leaning towards the better side of things with design and computer focused jobs. The programs you would use are AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc. That is probably 90% of engineering jobs by the way. You have to really strive for a “hands on” job in engineering in order to get one. This mechanical engineering video focuses on the various sectors you can work, What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/5wEteXzhtak/видео.html This video isolates 5 types of mechanical engineering in order to communicate what an automotive engineer works on, an aerospace engineer, a product engineer, engineer working on software, etc. “Jobs for Mechanical Engineers” ruclips.net/video/L95q-d6FWVY/видео.html If you are better at math a theoretical things and love programming, maybe EE is for you. “Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering” ruclips.net/video/6PJ-Yw5qVsc/видео.html Many engineers want to work with robots. “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/4YjLZcQRLds/видео.html And here are some looking at EE. “What Do Electrical Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/zRawKI6Qsm0/видео.html “What Do Computer Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/hiL-cTbz188/видео.html Let me know what follow up questions you have k?

@@freshman4993 Yeah bro, ME is fresh, mannnnn. hahahah. Honestly you're going to be fine. All engineers will. Shane and Matt should not be scaring people away from engineering. Let me know in the comments whatever else I can help you with in the future k? Cheers bruuuhhhh
Nice seeing your perspective on Shane’s video. You made plenty of good points and I think some of Shane’s points were good too. Computer engineering does seem to fit in S tier imo cuz how there’s a lot of coding involved and it’s one of the most demanded skills now and in the future too (can transition to software eng. too) and CE is a bit more broad than Aerospace. Btw, I am in my junior year of Mechanical eng., after transferring from community college last fall. It’s a bit hard but interesting. My university actually also offers Ocean engineering and Geomatics engineering which you might not heard of.
Thanks for this comment! Cool insight about computer engineering. Ya I made this video called “100 Types of Engineers” ruclips.net/video/aKrUAEWWGtc/видео.html and also worked with an ocean engineer in university. It’s a cool industry. What are you trying to figure out next after your transfer from comm college into ME? Good move and good for you. You’ll always look back at that decision with pride and a smile. Let me know how I can help k cheers thanks for being here
@@JakeVoorhees I transferred from a comm. coll. into a public University last fall so I am in my second semester there now in my junior year of ME. I want to work with robotics after I graduate but I am also very open to other industries like biomedical and aerospace. They seem interesting too. I really like how broad ME is. Also, is it worth it to get a masters in ME or is just a bachelors should be ok?
I'm senior electrical engineering student. In order to graduate in my university we have to specialize in three of these : Control system engineer, power system engineer, embedded system engineer, microelectronics engineer, communication engineer Electromagnetic engineer or image processing engineer, digital signal processing engineer or hardware engineer.
Very cool stuff, thanks for the comment. I have the perfect video for you if you need help deciding, “Jobs for Electrical Engineers over $100,000” ruclips.net/video/Vi4hkCeNWs0/видео.html. Power engineering should be in your choices, and probably microelectronics and either communications or digital signal processing. But, don't worry, no matter what you choose, you aren't pigeon holing yourself into something where you cannot navigate outside of it or wherever you want later. An electrical engineering degree is one of the most flexible degrees you can have. Honestly you can work anywhere you want afterwards. What do you want to do? What's your dream job situation and I can help you figure out how to get there. I respond to 100% of comments, thanksssss!
I just got accepted into Electrical Engineering at Georgia Tech. I have the opportunity to minor in Energy Systems on a pathway specifically for EE majors. This is really an interesting field to me the more I learn about it, but I don’t know much about what that field is like in the real world. Would pursuing that minor along with an EE major make practical sense? Or would it just be a waste of effort/time. Love the videos!
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!
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!
Could you give me some advice as to how i can get in Tech? I am planning to transfer from GSU but my grades are not so impressive. In fact nothing about me is impressive cause I'm only now starting to be more serious about my future 😭
Almost seems like you and Shane spoke before this video was made or you know each other. I dont know. I do have a question would a double major in nanoengineering and computer engineering be a good idea?
Wow what awesome intuition. You’re exactly right. I emailed shane months ago and let him know I was going to create a more exaggerated beef and either dress up and make it obvious or wear a wig or something. But I decided to make it more real and honestly just let him have it. Everything I’m saying in this vidoe I really do believe and the content is authentic. I’m impressed that you knew. My Matt Tran criticism video did so well, I’ve been trying to find other ways to add value and contradict existing engineering content that needs contradiction. Humans love beefs and feuds and drama. By the way, I learned and this “manufactured beef” strategy from jake and Logan Paul and KSI and rice gum. They are all friends and hate on other another online. It works. So I’m doing a little of that but what I’m saying about my critique of his video is real. Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any engineering questions and I can help you with those, thanks!!
What do you think about Energy Engineering? It’s a course that comprehends Electrical + Generation Methods (petroleum, nuclear and sustainable ones) Then with a Robotics or Computer Science minor it becomes very complete, right? I’m Brazilian and Universities are free here (if you pass of course) so I want to make the best use possible.
Hey Jake... I'm going to major electrical engineering this year and I would really love a video on skills to learn while in school that attract meaningful jobs in the 21st century. Love your work. Thank you so much!
Yuppppp, people on my 1% board have suggested that. Good request. I’ll get working on it! Make sure to have the bell turned on because it’ll probably be a couple weeks. I have a new Matt Tran rip coming out soon hahahahaha. For now, do you have any more questions? I respond to 100% of comments so I encourage you to ask whatever you like bruh thanksssss
One of my favorite things about your channel is that I can tell you are very proud to be an engineer. I am in my last year of my aerospace engineering undergraduate program and I absolutely love my field of study. The only thing I would change is that obviously aerospace is number one then its mechanical, electrical and civil!
Heyyy thanks for the comment. Yup, you're right. I love engineering and I try to be super encouraging. I just made my own engineering degree tier list video that is out soon, and I think I made AE 4th. It's really hard for it to outweigh the big 3 engineering majors, civil/electrical/mechanical, because they are all 300,000+ jobs vs AE with 66,000. However, I did say in the video that if I was a first year engineering student right now, I would do AE for sure. I'm the most excited about that sector, and to me, it is 100% future proof. Have you seen my AE videos? They could be helpful. “What is Aerospace Engineering?

Heyyy thanks for the comment. What are you up to in your engineering career journey? Let me know what questions you have and I can help you with those, cheers thanks again!
Hey Jake! Can you help me? I’m enrolling to a top university soon. I want to study engineering and I’m leaning more to CS and Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering, CS because it’s broad and is a very good place where my knowledge can grow and also the pay and it being future proof. Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering because I like inventing things, I’m like a dwarf at it and really good at making things plus I have ADHD and I think sitting on a computer for hours will not help me, medication worsens it. What do you think?
Hi there, interesting video, I personally like both Shane's and your channels. Perhaps an interesting comparison, Chemical Engineering vs Computer Engineering? I am soon to be a 2-nd year student in the US and I am from Eastern Europe. The demand for software here is huge, but I cannot find many chemical engineering positions. If both majors had the same possible outcome in terms of job availability and salary, I would pick Chemical. However, I don't know now, both of them are interesting. Any tips?
Hey Jake, I recently heard about Construction Management and I heard that the pay is better compared to Civil Engineering. I was wondering if Construction Management degree considered to be an Engineering degree??
Hey thanks for the comment. So, Construction Management is essentially a branch within CE. You become a construction manager by getting a degree in either construction or civil engineering, and then go on to get your PE and probably PMP certification as well. This sector makes the most within civil engineering, and I know this because I'm using the 2019 ASCE salary report for data on the highest civil engineering salaries. Construction sits at #1 at an industry median of $119,000 base salary. I did a video about construction engineering and you can see that here, as it may help, Construction Engineering sits nearby civil engineering, so make sure you watch this too, “Is Construction Engineering A Good Major | Construction Engineering vs Civil Engineering” ruclips.net/video/HHiBTH4ufYU/видео.html thanks and let me know any follow up questions you have okay? Cheers!
hey i have a question about the degrees in my uni because there isnt a general mechanical engineering degree, i'll list the programs available at my uni and give me your opinion about which is the better one since you are an engineer yourself 1. Chemical Engineering 2. Civil Engineering 3. Electrical Engineering (Biomedical) 4. Electrical Engineering (Computer) 5. Electrical Engineering (Electrical Power and Machines) 6. Electrical Engineering (Electronics and Communications) 7. Industrial Engineering 8. Mechanical Engineering (Aeronautical) 9. Mechanical Engineering (Production Engineering and Mechanical Systems Design) 10. Mechanical Engineering (Thermal Engineering and Desalination Technology) 11. Mining Engineering 12. Nuclear Engineering 13. Nuclear Engineering (Radiation Protection) 14. Nuclear Engineering (Medical Physics) i dont really have my mind on anything so far but i'll be happy if it makes good money and is flexible with job opportunities
Could answer this question. Do you think that choosing electrical engineering and computer science as a double major would be better and more efficient than a single major in computer engineering?
I’m an engineer, & I can say it’s not the only 4yr degree that pays dividends & opens up doors, my sister was ICU RN, and made/still makes more money than I do, especially during covid, we were out of work while the nursing field was cleaning up at the bank. 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. It’s more of a durable career choice given we all get old at some point.
True. I almost chose it, but I'm glad I didn't because I was able to avoid getting vaxed because the company I work for as an engineer let us decide. Looking back, Thank god.
Thank you sir!! Always enjoy your comments cheers. Let me know if I can help you with anything. I chatted w Astro lately and we want to have a discord team meetup. Thanks!!
I’m going into college next yr and I’m interested in working in construction. Do you recommend getting a civil engineering or structural, or architectual engineering degree? Also after getting a bachelors do you recommend getting a construction management degree? or maybe an mba?
Hey great question. So you should get a civil engineering degree, or even like my alma mater, University of Delaware, sometimes you can find bachelors degrees in Construction Engineering. But just do civil if that is what is available to you, and focus your concentration on construction and yes project management courses. You will end up getting your PE most likely as well as yes your PMP certification. MBA is more for the white collab C-Suite sort of avenue, which is not what you will need in construction management / construction engineering, at least not right away. Either way, my suggestion is to get out of bachelors and get to work right away. Work 4-5 years, take the PE, and then decide what you want. It's very normal for young engineers to want to create a plan farrrrr before its the right time to make that plan, and far before you even know if you like the field / focus / sector / whatever. I have this video on Construction Engineering, where I interviewed the professor at UD, Dr. Small, on this topic, “Is Construction Engineering A Good Major | Construction Engineering vs Civil Engineering” ruclips.net/video/HHiBTH4ufYU/видео.html. I think it's a great field if you like it. Super support that. Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have k? I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!
Nice! Happy to help and thanks for the comment. What types of engineers are you thinking about? Let me know what I can do to help k, cheers thanks again
@@galensherbon5302 Cool okay, that's what I studied in case you weren't sure yet.

My semester starts in the fall, and I chose chemical Engineering bc I live near Texas, where there are a BUNCH of plants. Not sure if this is the right move?...
Yeah hey thanks for the question. So in this video, I do chat about that. How based on your area, if there are a lot of XYZ niche engineering roles, and you like that direction, sure do it. I think thats okay. I live here in DuPont country and there are a lootttt of chemical engineers and they all make good $$ and have cool jobs. You cannot do that anywhere, but yeah Texas is a good place for that. You'll be fine okay, cheers thank you! Let me know what else I can help you with, thanks again! I respond to all comments, later
@@JakeVoorhees Ok, thanks for the reply! I’m deciding between chemical and mechanical engineering as my major. I’m honestly leaning toward mechanical because if I do choose chemical I would be solely dependent on working at a plant down here. With mechanical, there are a lot of different paths I can go! I can still go to a plant if I want to with mechanical engineering. I plan on moving to Texas anyways after graduation, because I feel like there are a lot more engineering opportunities in that area. Again, thanks for the guidance.
Great video jake 👍 when chosing a field of engineering you should reflect on your geographical location. Are there experts in that field at your nearest University? The job prospects really depends on your location
Thanks so much Rose! Yes that part is super important. That is another thing I hugely value about the 1% Team. I've been able to learn more about each of your countries and the engineering aspects that are influential there. Thank you for you and everything you have done with the IG and online community since we met, cheers!
Hey thanks ya I know right. Glad to have your comment and cheers. So here are some ME resources that may help you. Here is a video that goes over a bunch of ME sectors, "What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?" ruclips.net/video/5wEteXzhtak/видео.html and this one looks at careers like automotive, aerospace, product engineering for ME, etc: "Jobs for Mechanical Engineers", ruclips.net/video/L95q-d6FWVY/видео.html. Many people struggle to understand they should do ME or EE, so I made this: “Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering” ruclips.net/video/6PJ-Yw5qVsc/видео.html And it’s commonly the dream to work with mechateonics or robotics, so check this out “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/4YjLZcQRLds/видео.html I hope those help and make sense! Thanks so much, and let me know what follow up questions you have okay? Cheers !!
How difficult is it to find a job with an environmental engineering degree compared to getting a degree with one of the big three degrees? I love the idea of working with the environment somehow but am a bit anxious about the job prospects. If I do major in a big three degree, is it difficult to specialize in environmental engineering for certain degrees in particular? For example, how much harder is it for a mechanical engineering degree student to specialize in environmental than it is for an electrical or civil engineering student? Would you recommend flat out majoring in environmental engineering or one of the big three? - A concerned 12th grader (in Texas, but I think I may end up living in North Carolina just because of how beautiful it is there.)
I live in NC and I can say it is definitely a good state. For a mechanical engineering major to specialize in environmental would likely not be possible, so yeah. IF you want to do environmental, stay towards the civil engineering side of things. It might be harder to find an Environmental engineer job simply because there are less of them out there. However if you do the right things, it should not be an issue.
Hey thanks for the great comment. There are 55,000 environmental engineering jobs in the US which puts it in the top 7 engineering types. And it’s likely that your degree, like mine, will be entitled “civil and environmental engineering”. Environmental engineering exists at the undergraduate level, but it’s usually combined with civil. With a civil & environmental degree, you can focus on environmental engineering in your internships, tech electives, and networking tactics, but lean on civil engineering roles as well when needed. So don’t worry okay. I would just encourage you towards civil if you’re going for big three. It’s far more likely that as a civil engineer you can work with the environment. Environmental engineering is technically a branch of civil. Mechanical or electrical engineers can work with companies who produce designs or systems for the environment too, but the smartest choice is civil/environmental. Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have k? I respond to every comment. Cheers!!
I'm a second year Mechie from a top-notch Engineering university in my country. I have developed interest in Materials Engineering, as you know Materials Engineering is a subfield of Mechanical Engineering, MaterialsE itself has many branches like Ceramic Engineering, Metallurgical engineering, Polymer Engineering Semiconductor engineering,Bio Materials engineering, Nano engineering, Composites Engineering,etc. So I wanna ask, is Materials sector a good choice scope wise?
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.
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 🌻🌻
I started off as electrical engineering but had to switch to mechanical engineering because of financial reasons. Mechanical engineering is substantially cheaper at my university. However, I am taking some computer science classes to break into software engineering. I also plan on doing a masters in computer science. I miss electrical engineering and truly believe that it's for me. I also love mechanical and feel as though I have reached an excellent compromise for the price I'm paying. I hate that I'll miss out on all the programming and signal based classes but I enjoy my statics and dynamics courses too. Good luck to everyone out there!
Hello. I am going to have to pick which type of engineering major to go into pretty soon. My coding skills are relatively poor but I am pretty good at math. If electrical engineering isn’t suited for me, out of the remaining big two which one should I pick?
You would have to define your interests. ME has less coding, but you will still have to learn MATLAB at some point in your career, if you go this route. Combine your interests with a major that is general/broad and you will be good to go.
Amazing video! Very informative! May I ask a question please? How do you feel about a BSE degree in ‘Engineering Management’? I was thinking about applying...specifically at Arizona State Online. It is ABET accredited. I actually want to go into Hydrology and work more in the labs/research (plan to get Masters in ‘Hydrology and Water Security’). I know I don’t have to go through Engineering to go this route...but I figured I can get the most out of my bachelors with a more ‘valuable’ degree...more then Environmental Science or something...although I think those are wonderful. Just trying to get the most for my bucks. Engineering Management from ASU? 🤔 Thank you in advance! 🤞🏼✨
hello! I'm SO interested in Environmental Engineering. A top university in my city (top 50 world and second best college in Canada) offers a Major in Civil Engineering with a minor in environmental engineering with a possibility to specialize in environmental with a master's. The same minor with Chemical engineering too. Should I go with civil or chemical if I really want to work in the renewable energy industry?
I’m not an engineer I’m just a year 10 student in the UK but from what I’ve seen, I’d say that engineering professions generally fall under three main categories that tend to overlap, Mechanical Systems, Electrical and Software systems and then finally Biochemical systems, so like biomed is a mix of mechanical, electrical and Biochemical, mechatronics is electrical and mechanical (and biochemical to some extent with bionics) etc
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.
I think the government is a decent source for projecting how good a career is for the most part. Like you said, paradigm shifts can occur but those are super rare and rarely ever happen with any sort of frequency. I don't think Shane is trying to say the government is infallible when it comes to job forecasting, but that they're simply the best source overall.
@@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? Let me know what follow up or other questions you may have and I can help you with those, cheers! Appreciate you as a part of 1% Nation thankssss
I got into Purdue for first year engineering. I am still split between aerospace and mechanical engineering. Someday I would like to work for a larger aerospace company like Lockheed, Boeing or Raytheon. I was wondering if it would be better to go pure aerospace for undergrad and grad or do mechanical for undergrad and aero for grad? Is there an advantage with one path or the other?
As a senior AE student, I recommend you do mech undergrad aero grad just to open up your options if you decide not to go down the aero route. The only reason I'd do aero undergrad is if you're 95% sure this is what you want as your career and also, purdue is well known for its aero program so you got that going for you too if you decide to stick with aero undergrad. Also the first 2 years of mech and aero are very similar so a swich can be made wherever you change your mind
Purdue is a greatttt school. I applied there for grad school (only applied to 4 schools). I support pure aerospace in some situations because there are a pretty good amount of jobs, 66,000 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!
Yeah I like this response, and support the attitude. Especially because you are in the thick of it. Thanks for the comment. Here while it's fresh on your mind because you're a senior, let me ask you think. Of your AE classmates, do you often see that some of the AEs regret it and wished they had chosen ME? Cheers thanks so much, looking forward to your reply
thanks again for coming back for a comment! If you think of anything I can help you with, just let me know okay? I respond to everything nowadays, cheers!
I plan on majoring in chemical engineering, may I get your input on that major? I’m a bit worried about the job outlook after graduation. BTW thanks for correcting shane’s video I knew that his tier list was iffy.
Ya it sucked. Thanks a ton for commenting. It’s hard for me to be very encouraging towards chemical engineering because of how small the industry is. There are only 32,600 chemical engineering jobs in the USA right now. And check this out, “Chemical Engineering was the 66th most popular major in the 2018-2019 school year. Colleges in the United States reported awarding 14,406 degrees in this year alone.” www.collegefactual.com/majors/engineering/chemical-engineering/ So yeah that’s why I’m upset with Shane not looking at what I have started to call “degree saturation ratio” which is exactly this situation. Do you think 14,000 chemical engineers are dropping out of the industry at the same time? No way. So engineers who get that degree are forced to step into some other industry. Process engineering, software development, food engineering, pharmaceutical engineering, petroleum engineering, etc are all avenues that many chemical engineers have to take in order to find a job. So my attitude is this alright. Maybe you LOVE chemical engineering. Maybe you come from a city or family or culture or country that is heavily invested in chemical engineering. I mean I went to the University of Delaware (President Biden’s alma mater) where the DuPont family invested soooo much into chemical engineering so it’s ranked really high. The engineering building is called DuPont Hall. There were a lot of chemical engineers there and they were super smart. So there are what I would call exceptions. However, outside of this, I think it’s better to choose a bigger industry like mechanical or electrical or civil or computer science where you can then back door into the chemical industry if you want. Most engineering degrees can get you most jobs. It’s more about experience and who you know and how you market yourself to that role and industry. So my attitude is, why barrow your options with a limiting degree? I made these videos on chemical engineering to learn more, “What can Chemical Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/DGEwoGjMP0M/видео.html and “Chemical Engineer Interview” ruclips.net/video/5o8QzeIlHuk/видео.html Does all this help and make sense?

@@JakeVoorhees I'm going to be a Computer Engineer. I do have a question. Should I minor in anything and if so what would be a good minor for Computer Engineers or various Engineers in general?
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. Cheers and thanks again!
Started off in Astronautical Engineering but realized I am more interested in the rocket engine itself than satellites and structures, so I switched over to Mechanical Engineering - Propulsion Track before classes forked off in different directions.
Yup! That’s the best way. Thanks for the comment. And what area are you leaning towards? Let me know if there’s anything I can help you with k cheers !!
I’m a first year student of “Electrical and computer engineering” since my university takes courses from both majors and combines them. Would you consider that good ?
Hey thanks for the comment. Yes this is far more common than computer engineering existing on its own. Computer Engineering is technically a subset of electrical engineering, so this sounds perfectly fine to me. Does that make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have ok? Cheers
Hey thanks for the comment. Sure but there is no way he can omit software engineering from the list, so I mentioned it and didn't like that he excluded it. All good, it's a weird subject you know? There are 1.4M people working in software because there are a TOOONNNNN of people there who don't even have a college degree, not to mention a baller chemical / electrical / computer / software engineering degree that makes them a real software engineer you know? What are you up to in your engineering journey & career? Let me know if there isn anything I can help you with okay? I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!

I really appreciate you explaining all the information precisely. Right now, I am majoring in electrical engineering. I would like to know can i work in medical technology field as an electrical engineer? Is it possible?
Hey thanks to much for the comment. Good question. Okay so EE is half way to a computer science degree already. In fact, many EEs work as software developers, programmers, and software engineers after graduation as it is. In terms of robotics or automation, what you are referring to is a subset between EE and mechanical engineering called "mechatronics". I get a lot of questions about mechatronics engineering - probably more than any other subset of engineering nowadays. I think mechatronics is the future. It is the intersection of mechanical and electrical engineering, so you can lean into either the physical design side i.e. mechanics, or the electrical engineering aspects which would include the circuitry, signals and controls, power, automation, and programming aspects. I think a mechatronics engineer who leans into the electrical engineering side of things is VERY well suited for the future. Here are some videos that you may be interested in, “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/4YjLZcQRLds/видео.html There are only 28 mechatronics programs in the country, so often times you have to choose EE or ME and do a degree concentration in mechatronics, which is fine. This video will help you decide which one to do, “Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering” ruclips.net/video/6PJ-Yw5qVsc/видео.html These will probably be helpful as well: “What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/5wEteXzhtak/видео.html “What Do Electrical Engineers Do” ruclips.net/video/zRawKI6Qsm0/видео.html “What Do Computer Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/hiL-cTbz188/видео.html Does this help and make sense?

@@JakeVoorhees Thanks so much for the effort you have put in responding to my question. I actually live in Perth Australia and the University I am studying in requires us to do mechatronics as an undergraduate and an accelerated master's(electrical engineering) which altogether takes about 5 years. I was wondering whether the degree name "automation and robotics" would be clear to employers when I apply for mechatronics positions or would employers assume I have just studied a robotics degree?
Hey thanks for the comment. Okay so basically you have to decide how much raw programming you want to do vs the application and integration of that code with either computer or electronic systems. You can have equally awesome careers in either Computer Science / Electrical Engineering / Computer Engineering. As you eluded to in your comment, I am glad you understand computer engineering is a subset of electrical engineering so we don't need to discuss that here. AI is a very broad field so there is no single answer, but if you are going to major in engineering, then the more you know about computer science, the better. Majoring in CS is probably the absolute best avenue, but either can do, especially electrical engineering because of how closely it sits to computer science. Other skills/subjects that are valuable including mathematics, statistics, data science, and even cognitive science are good subjects to take as electives. Any engineering degree can put you in a position to pretty much do whatever you want, particularly one that is mechanical or electrical engineering, and again... the closer you are to a skilled programmer, the more your options open up, regardless of you choosing ME/EE/Aerospace/ChemE, etc Let’s say you go with engineering. I would encourage you to use any opportunity in your engineering curriculum to take a CS or math course that garners some skill that builds momentum for a career in AI. Do the same with your internships - work with companies that do something within AI. Same with the professors you build relationships with, the events you go to and the people you network with, as well as the engineering organizations/societies/clubs that you join. Once you become super intentional about your career, everything sort of falls into place the way you intend for it to do. And when you decide you're getting bored or you want something else, you can simply shift everything in the above paragraph, and repeat it. I've done civil engineering, into traffic engineering, into intelligent transportation systems, into travel demand modeling, into wedding videography, digital marketing, RUclips, and even was with a startup for 2 years and featured on ABC's Shark Tank. You can do whatever you want with an engineering degree :) Does this help? Let me know what follow up questions you may have and I can try to help with those. Cheers! PS I also often get questions about what coding languages to learn in order to have a career in AI. For AI momentum, the primary language is 100% Python. Lisp is a legacy language for the industry. Also C++, Java, R, Prolog are all used in the AI industry. Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!!!
Hey what do you think about mechatronics engineering? I got accepted into a university fkr mechatronics and for computer science and i have a hard time choosing between them.

Just know that if you choose CS, you will never really be able to work with the integration or design or engineering side of mechatronics applications at all. Your career will 100% be focused on the programming. Some people want that, and some people do not. What I like about choosing engineering is that A LOT of engineers can be programmers. If you get a CS degree, it is much more difficult to get an engineering role. So you can see where I am steering you :) Does that help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have, as I respond to 100% of questions, cheers and thanks again!!
@@JakeVoorhees thanks for your reply. What do you think of the job prospects and the demand for mechatronics enginners? Computer science is so appealing to me because there is a huge demand and it's diverse. There was one person who studied mechatronics who said that mechatronics is a good degree only if someone wants to pursue postgraduate studies since it covers a lot of fields so a person can pursue and specialise in different types of engineering, but if not then employers would rather hire a mechanical engineer or an electrical because they spend 4 years studying it and they have better knowledge about their respective fields than someone who studied mechatronics.

So most "mechatronics engineers" did not actually major in that. I think that person was suggesting that it's not a great idea to seek out a pure MTRE degree, which is probably true. You can end up in mechatronics with CS, CompE, ME, EE, etc. CS can also get you access to a lot of engineering-like roles. In fact, CS is considered an engineering degree. There are 283 CS ABET accredited programs, which is nuts but true. Does that help and make sense?

Question jack: I am in my 2 year of electrical engineering but I do not the enjoy coding part of it. Is there sub fields in electrical engineering that doesn’t require coding at all or very little ?
Ehhhhhhh, tough one. Thanks for the comment. So I suppose you weren't 100% sure what electrical engineering entailed when you chose the major? EE is one of the few that essentially requires a lot of coding, so you cannot really avoid it. I would do this... talk to your advisor about switching to mechanical engineering. All of your classes will most likely transfer and you can stay on course to graduate on time. That or you may need just one more semester, or you can do summer/winter classes to stay on course. Otherwise, if you cannot change majors, you need to do your "concentration" in mechatronics engineering, which is the bridge between EE and ME, where you can work more so on the design of the circuitry and the physical side of EE, which avoids more coding than the pure EE aspect. There are some other aspects with EE, like Electronics Engineering, that are discussed in this video, “Jobs for Electrical Engineers over $100,000” ruclips.net/video/Vi4hkCeNWs0/видео.html. But honestly I would switch majors. You should like you should be an ME, so maybe check this video too, “Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering” ruclips.net/video/6PJ-Yw5qVsc/видео.html. So I hope that helps? Might be a tough situation but talk to your advisors. Talk to your mentors. Talk to some people and figure out the right thing to do for you. You can ask me any questions or as many questions as you like okay? I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!
You can get into the power side of things. I work as an EE specializing in power distribution for large buildings, airports etc. This is a field that requires no coding, and sounds like a great field for you. If I were you I would stay in a job that requires coding, that gives you more flexibility. Software is the future and an EE with coding skills would put you in the top tier of engineers.
Hey man I dont know if you will see this but do you know or have you heard of people in the industry with mechanical eng degrees who have transferred over to finance. How hard would it be, would I have to go get an MBA?
Hey thanks for the comment. Nah you don't necessarily have to have an MBA, you just have to prove you have the skills for the job. It's best to pick out a few potential roles in finance and study them. This is the great thing about engineering. Engineers can get any job
Is a Bachelor's or Master's degree required to become an engineer or is an Associate's Degree good enough? I'm asking because this a huge financial risk and am looking for a high ROI on my investment.
I was 100% sure I was going to pick Biomedical engineering but this Shane guy really discouraged me, I probably shouldn't even use him as a source since I don't even live in the US. I live in Ireland which is supposedly a good country for Biomedical engineers. Biomedical is the only engineering I'm really interested in, do you think it's worth doing? Also thanks for a great video.
Hey thanks for the comment. Yeah if your country is good for it and you love it, go for it. Our IG manager Rose is from Ireland so I encourage you to DM her and ask about BME in Ireland. It’s @1EngineerNation on Instagram thanks! Let me know what other questions you have okay? Cheers !!
@@JakeVoorhees I really appreciate the response, I'll definitely check that out. After watching your videos I have realized that Mechanical engineering is also a great choice. I was always under the impression that mechanical engineering was only in relation to the automotive industry but you've helped me see otherwise. Mechanical engineering may also be a good option seeing as it is more broad and can lead to more jobs, including those in the medical industry. Thanks again for your great videos.
I actually watched this video to decide what engineering branch to choose before I discovers your channel and jeez am I glad I found your channel😂😂Love this whole video was just you stating the FACTS 😤😤
Nice! Thanks so much for the comment and I'm really glad you're here now. So what are you trying to figure out - what did you choose? Let me know what questions you have so I can help you in the comments. I respond to 100% of comments, thanks!
I think that's a good plan. Thanks for the comment. Here are my videos on aerospace engineering, “What is Aerospace Engineering?

Of-course, the best engineering degree tier list can be made only by the engineer- youtuber! Thanks for letting us know. I am as an HR person always carefully study professions but agree that the best insights can be said only by the professionals who practice it.
Heyyyy thank you so much for the comment. And yes, you're right. Shane and I have been emailing about this video, he knew it was coming, and its all good. I really appreciate the insights. What are you up to in your engineering journey? Let me know if there is anything I can help you with okay? Cheers thanks!
How heavy is EE for theoretical math and programming? My programming isnt really the best and im not certain about theoretical math as well but i manage to get a B in calculus.
Hey Kevin, good question and thanks for the comment. EE requires THE MOST theoretical math and more programming than any other type of engineering field. Computer engineering is a subset of EE, and the only way you can get more coding than EE is to actually be a computer science major. In fact, if you look at a lot of EE programs, the major is called, "Electrical Engineering and Computer Science" - they are combined. Mechanical and Civil engineering, the other of the big 3, are tangible. You can see the designs, whereas you cannot see electricity or magnetism. ME and CE both require a lot of math and are still hard majors, but it seems like EE is not the right fit for you. I have these videos that would help you, “Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering” ruclips.net/video/6PJ-Yw5qVsc/видео.html and here, “What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/5wEteXzhtak/видео.html and about civil, “What Do Civil Engineers Do” ruclips.net/video/FssJcjOIB7A/видео.html I hope this stuff helps.

I never went to high school, 8th grade drop out and now I’m an engineer. Be dedicated and you’ll be fine. Do the work and ask for help, you’ll be an engineer before you know it!!😀
Thank you! What type of engineer are you trying to become? Let me know what engineering questions you have or support you need and I can lend a hand with those. Cheers I reply to all comments, later!
Awesome video! I am a civil engineer student and currently stuck between transportation or structural. Can you briefly speak about the Opportunities for both and which one should one lean towards to as an emphasis. Other than that, great video and thank you!
Yup! Thanks for the comment. K so I personally did transportation because of its connection to technology. Driverless vehicles, connected infrastructure communication with vehicles, drones, flying cars, etc - this stuff is heavily connected to our technological progression. Buildings and bridges? Not so much, there is much less innovation. The main thing going on there is how we model them using Building Information Modeling (BIM) versus the old way. I made a pretty cool video called, “What Do Civil Engineers Do” ruclips.net/video/FssJcjOIB7A/видео.html where I discuss the 5 sectors. This one talks about, “Civil Engineering Have a Good Future | Good Major?” ruclips.net/video/O2eedXUxTDM/видео.html Construction Engineering sits nearby civil engineering, so make sure you watch this too, “Is Construction Engineering A Good Major | Construction Engineering vs Civil Engineering” ruclips.net/video/HHiBTH4ufYU/видео.html But really you can have a good career in both. Most civil engineers want to design buildings and bridges, so thats okay. It's just not what I did. Does that help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have k and I can help you with that, thanks! I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!
I want to be an aerospace engineer with an emphasis in astronautics because I want to push for the future like SpaceX. I find space-travel very fascinating.
Make sure to save a giant glass jar to collect all of your tears. Lol I'm JK it is a very challenging major but I'm so glad I've pushed through. Just 1 more year to go!
I think that is a marvelous career goal - thanks for saying that here. I would do AE if I were a first year engineer right now. I agree. I'm in love with SpaceX type stuff and cannot wait to see what we do with Moon/Mars colonization and all that. Is there anything I can help you with in your engineering career journey? Thanks a lotttt, I respond to every comment, cheers!
Nice!! Congrats and thanks for the comment. Where did you end up? That’s great I’m really happy for you. Let me know if I can help you with any career advice like getting promotions and whatever you are trying to figure out. I respond to all comments thanks!!
@@JakeVoorhees I was hired for the design of floating houses, but soon I will also do technical office work, development and manufacture of components of said boats. Can you imagine how much i earn monthly? So that you take into account how badly valued engineers are in other countries
Hey thanks for coming back again. Sounds like a pretty cool position. Do you like it? It's hard for me to imagine how much you earn, especially if its another country and another currency. Feel free to let me know so I can compare for you okay? Cheers! and thanks again
@@JakeVoorhees No Jake, thanks you for replying and helping us. I do like this job, and I'm getting a lot of experience since it is a new company and there's a lot of design and many manufacturing processess to implement. In my particular case, I am earning about 1300€ (around1600$) per month in Spain. I know it's very little but I was desperate to find a job since around here it's very difficult to find one, even with experience. Therefore I am at a crossroads and I don't know how to approach the issue of a salary increase that I believe is fair, without losing a job position that I honestly like. I have now 2 years of experience as mechanical engineer. Thank you, cheers!
YESSSS! Really prompting... Ima probably major in EE now :D . I couldn't narrow my interest so was unable to choose between SE AND EE. TY We love U jake 😘😘
Thank you for this awesome comment! I save my favorite ones. This one is included now. So I guess "SE" was software engineering? Yeah you don't want to study that. There are only 30 ABET programs so if you're going to do one, its CS rather than SE. Plus, EE and CPE degrees can work as software engineers, so I fully support you doing EE. Have you see my EE videos? “What Do Electrical Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/zRawKI6Qsm0/видео.html And this one talks about high paying EE roles: “Jobs for Electrical Engineers over $100,000” ruclips.net/video/Vi4hkCeNWs0/видео.html Also, a lot of electrical engineers wish to work in mechatronics/robotics, so check out this video “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/4YjLZcQRLds/видео.html And since computer engineering is a subset of electrical engineering, “What Do Computer Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/hiL-cTbz188/видео.html I hope these help. Let me know what follow up questions you have so I can help you with those. I respond to all questions. Cheers and thanks again!!
Make a video about how to enter the space industry, like whether should we get a degree in aerospace or get a degree in mechanical engineering. Ohh and whether is it possible to get a master in aerospace by having a mechanical degree?
Hey thanks for the comment. Good question. I do have some information on this, these videos will help: “What is Aerospace Engineering? What do Aerospace Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/vDa0fB6kxVc/видео.html “Aerospace Engineer Interview | How To Get A Job At Boeing | How To Get A Job At Lockheed Martin” ruclips.net/video/NuPAiaonLrQ/видео.html “What is Combustion Engineering? | Can Mechanical Engineers Become Aerospace Engineers?” ruclips.net/video/qnXpsjZcq0k/видео.html 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!
@@JakeVoorhees This does help and makes sense, really appreciate your reply :).
However, I am a Malaysian which means most of the space companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin would not hire me as an employee unless I become a US citizen, this also means I can't really go to an internship at any companies due to my major being restricted in terms of job opportunity and I am not a US citizen right? 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. Lastly, about the salary, because when I watch your videos I noticed AE earn more than ME. Does it mean that on average if I get into the space industry as a ME rather as an AE, I world earn less money at the same job and experience? Anyway, really appreciate your effort on reading my long words and still willing to reply on it.
Which type of engineering degree did you choose? And what should I make next, thanks 1% Nation!!
Hey Jake. Is it possible for civil or structural engineers to find employment in fields that don't exactly relate to their studies such as the automobile, aviation and firearms industries.? 🤔
Hey is it possible for u to do another video more in depth about industrial engineering? I like the field but there isn't much videos on YT that go further than just explain what it is .
Computer Engineering is what I chose.
Oh crap I am a 2nd year chemical engineer
Third year chemical engineer.
wow, this is the first time when I see a real engineer calling software devs "engineers" as well. Being a software engineer myself, I am really pleased to hear that :)
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.
So which one are you? Are you a software engineer? Cheers and thanks again, let me know what follow up questions you have and I can help you with anything okay? Thanks !!
@@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
Hey thanks so much for all this insight! Really appreciate the comment. Eventually, I'm going to do a video about data science. I'm particularly interested in the fact that Matt Tran's #1 video is about data science with Joma, and I am very interested in continuing to make videos with different perspectives than people like Matt, so I saved your response in a doc and may include it. Can I get in touch with you about more data science things in the future? Thanks so much, cheers! Let me know if there are any career questions I can help you with ok? Thanks
@@JakeVoorhees Sure, you can add me on Linked In - Ofeliia Bagratian :) happy to connect
@@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 got accepted into college for electrical engineering and I am very excited that I found this channel.
Nice! Congrats and thanks for the comment. Really glad you said that. So what are you trying to figure out next / what is on your mind about EE? Cheers and chat more soon, I respond to 100% of comments, later!
@@JakeVoorhees I was also accepted to thr 49th world ranked university in electrical engineering. there was 3 options for the major, CE IT or EE. I was quite arbitrary about this tho
@@josechristianabraham1148 dang okay well do you like programming and theoretical math and situations? That’s the main difference between EE and others. You cannot see electricity or magnetism and you need to become a good programmer. EEs take arguably the most challenging math compared to other engineers. Thanks again for the comment! Let me know if I can help w anything k cheers
@@JakeVoorhees To be honest, out of all mathematical subjects , Theoritical one such as Probabilities and discrete math is the one that I struggle the most. However, I do think it is because my limited experience on the subject, not my interest. I Also struggle in Electric and magnetism , Although I do think I had the same problem as aforementioned subject
@@JakeVoorhees In the field of programming on the other hand, I also lack the experience to say that I don't like programming
FUCK YES i remember watching that video so unsatisfied we love you jake
Righhtt? Thanks for the comment! Glad you mentioned this. Which type of engineering are you going for? Cheers thanks!
@@JakeVoorhees Thanks for the response! I'm an incoming junior studying civil eng -- I am pressing the brakes a bit with this online semester bc of a personal rule that I wouldn't take any "real" labs online -- it works out because I'm taking a mechanical engineering minor, mostly thermal and energy centered. I hope to get a masters degree and then teach at the community/city college level to sustain myself while I continue to progress down that relative path -- Do you have any videos on this? Would you be willing to make one? Or do you have any advice right now? THANK YOU.
Okay, extra context:
Current classes: Thermo, Dynamics, Python (basically), Machinery Design
* Considering dropping that last one... (it's not even on my registrar, just looks fun but I want to work!)
* Mostly ME classes this semester (besides overlap courses) bc I'm ahead relative to certain areas in my degree
It was discouraging. I’m a BME and the job outlook is pretty solid.
@@josephkitchen3059 Nice, I'm glad about your outlook. I'm making a video next on my tier list and I'm not that encouraging of BME. Maybe it's too harsh and maybe a bunch of BMEs will be upset, but we'll see. I can't understand why there are 7000 degrees added to the industry each year and only 21,000 jobs? I'd love to have your insights honestly. I guess so many BMEs end up working in some role that isnt a BME then right? Thanks and hope to chat more about it soon, cheers
@@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
I watched that video a while back and remember being super discouraged because I was unsure if I wanted to stay in mechanical engineering. Glad to have someone support engineering because most videos seem to just discourage it. Junior in ME right now and excited for the opportunities it will provide!
Yup! Those people suck bruh so stick with it. You can do anything you want with a mechanical engineering degree. Have you seen my ME videos? These could be helpful.

Man, glad you made this video. Your perspective is much appreciated. I put a little too much faith into Shane's videos it seems.
For anyone deciding; a lot of schools offer their first year as a general engineering schedule that every single first year will have and it’s great if you don’t know what you want to do. After that first year then you get to specialize or even switch out into a different STEM major because your first year is so broad
YES! Thank you for this comment. I love that universities are starting to do this. I was a first year engineer 15 years ago where I went, University of Delaware, did not have this option. But I would say 50% of the support I provide to engineering students is around choosing the right major, because its really hard to know. What did you end up going with? Let me know if there is anything I can help you with right now, and I can lend a hand for that. I respond to 100% of comments, thanks!
Damn, a lot of shade here.
I’m glad you blasted him. I watched his video and laughed so hard about a year ago. I’m an ee and I work at ups as a plant engineer which is the true jack of all trades. We do civil projects, lots of electrical and mechanical and so on
I'm so glad this video exists, I watched one of Shane's videos when I first started my undergrad in 2017 and was so unsatisfied with his ridiculous content and then I watched one again today and it was still extremely ridiculous.
Cheers
What’s ur degree
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.
Do you think Mechanical Engineering is a great choice? Please answer, thanks. 🙏🏾
what’s an imo?
@@samograff8303 "imo" stands for "in my opinion"
what do you think about Mechatronics? Its a Bachelors degree here in Germany and I thought to myself that this is the best one because its not gonna limit my options when it comes to choosing my masters programm. Many thanks for the answer in advance.
@@Moos1904 I like Mechatronics - at least in principle. 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.
During these times your videos really motivate me. Keep up the quality content !
Heyyy what a great comment, thank you! I really appreciate that. There are so many people who are discouraging about engineering, so I'm glad to hear this. What other engineering student/career questions do you have? Let me know so I can support you there. I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!
Not in college yet, so I'm on the fence about what imma do, so vids like this help a ton (although civil engineering is my favorite and most "passionate" option so far), keep it up lol

thanks Siddu, yeah trying some new stuff like ripping people hahahahaha. Hope you're doing well, cheers man
Jake- You are a model engineer. I can see your passion for your field and for helping others. I have watched your videos and love how you incorporate and feature ALL kinds of engineers including women and 'minorities' in your discussions. This is huge for students who don't see representations of themselves in engineering. Whenever I want my students to learn about engineering, I ask them to watch your videos because they are inclusive, informative, and practical. Keep doing what you are doing because your work is needed and valued. 😃😃
Wow what an amazing comment. Makes me want to cry. I’m really glad you recognize my inclusion because yes it’s quite intentional. I want women and future engineers of color to see themselves in the shoes as well.
That’s why I do all of this. To help and inspire future engineers all around.
So tell me more about you - are you a professor or engineering teacher somewhere? How can I help you and your students more? I’d love to chat with you, as I learn of educators here and there who utilize my videos, so if I can help you more I’d like to discover how. Thank you!
I'm studying mechanical engineering rn. I knew I wanted to do engineering but I wasn't sure what kind. It's good knowing that I can pursue other types of engineering and I'm not restricted to what's written on my degree.
Yup!! ME is probably the most diverse degree in engineering. ME or EE. Mechanical is probably more because you can design any physical components in the world for any sector or industry, and on top of that, you can learn the programming side of things. And then you can really get any job so yes. Good call on your part.
Have you seen my mechanical engineering videos?

@@JakeVoorhees I'm a senior in high school and I'm really interested in mechanical engineering ( tbh only mechatronics) but I find that the EE curriculum seems more interesting. Knowing this I researched on both fields extensively and came to the conclusion that the ME classes in general seem great (statics, dynamics, CAD classes, etc) while FEW EE classes are extremely interesting..
Would it be possible for me to major in mechanical engineering and take some electives I find interesting in EE (electroncs + electromagnetism+ controls)? Would it be too much of a course load?
Edit: sorry for the long msg😪
You have basically explained every single engineer career in one video, you have earned my respect
Wow thank you so much!! That’s a great comment and I’m really glad you found the video. I actually screen shot and save the favorite comments and this one made the list! What are you up to in your engineering journey or career? Let me know if you have any questions about anything and I can help you with those. Cheers and thanks again!!
@@JakeVoorhees Hey jake, can you make a video talking about the engineering stuff from iron man? Thx luv ur channel! :)
@@JakeVoorheesi am a senior in hs that is going to college next year for chemical engineering, chemical engineering is really what I want to do but I hear many bad things about the degree, should I just switch to electrical?
I truly love your entire explanation. THANK YOU A LOT. I'm almost to decide what type of engineering if Industrial or Biomedical, I know you alredy explained but could you be more specific, focus on these two if is possible. I love medical field but my experience is more in manufactory area and third part hospital. What you suggest? Cause I'm looking to move to FIU for BME. Thanks, I'm glad to get to this channel. "Only if you're Engineering, you could advise people," and you were right with the comparison lol.
New video!! Watching now. Thanks so much for such consistent, educational (entertaining!!!) content. Good stuff!!

You mean the CRUNCH comment right?? 😂😂😂 you’re on a roll!!
@@alissabestwick8521 Yupppp, CRUNCH. Homemade crunch wrap supremeeeee what
I just love the fact that this channel is all about Engineering so the information is much more accurate👌🏼... as a mechanical engineering student, I am much more intrested in design and computer focused jobs, rather than active and hands-on jobs.
so I would really appreciate if you could make a video, going through the numbers and details of these two specific job types in mechanical engineering💥
Hey man thanks for that awesome comment. Mechanical engineering is a great career, and I think you are leaning towards the better side of things with design and computer focused jobs. The programs you would use are AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc. That is probably 90% of engineering jobs by the way. You have to really strive for a “hands on” job in engineering in order to get one.

@@JakeVoorhees this really made me feel a lot more comfortable and interested in my degree . Thank you !
@@freshman4993 Yeah bro, ME is fresh, mannnnn. hahahah. Honestly you're going to be fine. All engineers will. Shane and Matt should not be scaring people away from engineering. Let me know in the comments whatever else I can help you with in the future k? Cheers bruuuhhhh
Great video, It's always good that there are different voices in youtube and help people see things in multiple angles
Nice seeing your perspective on Shane’s video. You made plenty of good points and I think some of Shane’s points were good too.
Computer engineering does seem to fit in S tier imo cuz how there’s a lot of coding involved and it’s one of the most demanded skills now and in the future too (can transition to software eng. too) and CE is a bit more broad than Aerospace.
Btw, I am in my junior year of Mechanical eng., after transferring from community college last fall. It’s a bit hard but interesting. My university actually also offers Ocean engineering and Geomatics engineering which you might not heard of.
Thanks for this comment! Cool insight about computer engineering. Ya I made this video called “100 Types of Engineers” ruclips.net/video/aKrUAEWWGtc/видео.html and also worked with an ocean engineer in university. It’s a cool industry.
What are you trying to figure out next after your transfer from comm college into ME? Good move and good for you. You’ll always look back at that decision with pride and a smile. Let me know how I can help k cheers thanks for being here
@@JakeVoorhees I transferred from a comm. coll. into a public University last fall so I am in my second semester there now in my junior year of ME. I want to work with robotics after I graduate but I am also very open to other industries like biomedical and aerospace. They seem interesting too. I really like how broad ME is.
Also, is it worth it to get a masters in ME or is just a bachelors should be ok?
I'm senior electrical engineering student. In order to graduate in my university we have to specialize in three of these : Control system engineer, power system engineer, embedded system engineer, microelectronics engineer, communication engineer Electromagnetic engineer or image processing engineer, digital signal processing engineer or hardware engineer.
Very cool stuff, thanks for the comment. I have the perfect video for you if you need help deciding, “Jobs for Electrical Engineers over $100,000” ruclips.net/video/Vi4hkCeNWs0/видео.html. Power engineering should be in your choices, and probably microelectronics and either communications or digital signal processing.
But, don't worry, no matter what you choose, you aren't pigeon holing yourself into something where you cannot navigate outside of it or wherever you want later. An electrical engineering degree is one of the most flexible degrees you can have. Honestly you can work anywhere you want afterwards. What do you want to do? What's your dream job situation and I can help you figure out how to get there. I respond to 100% of comments, thanksssss!
I just got accepted into Electrical Engineering at Georgia Tech. I have the opportunity to minor in Energy Systems on a pathway specifically for EE majors. This is really an interesting field to me the more I learn about it, but I don’t know much about what that field is like in the real world. Would pursuing that minor along with an EE major make practical sense? Or would it just be a waste of effort/time. Love the videos!
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!
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!
Could you give me some advice as to how i can get in Tech? I am planning to transfer from GSU but my grades are not so impressive. In fact nothing about me is impressive cause I'm only now starting to be more serious about my future 😭
Almost seems like you and Shane spoke before this video was made or you know each other. I dont know. I do have a question would a double major in nanoengineering and computer engineering be a good idea?
Wow what awesome intuition. You’re exactly right. I emailed shane months ago and let him know I was going to create a more exaggerated beef and either dress up and make it obvious or wear a wig or something. But I decided to make it more real and honestly just let him have it. Everything I’m saying in this vidoe I really do believe and the content is authentic. I’m impressed that you knew. My Matt Tran criticism video did so well, I’ve been trying to find other ways to add value and contradict existing engineering content that needs contradiction.
Humans love beefs and feuds and drama.
By the way, I learned and this “manufactured beef” strategy from jake and Logan Paul and KSI and rice gum. They are all friends and hate on other another online. It works.
So I’m doing a little of that but what I’m saying about my critique of his video is real. Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any engineering questions and I can help you with those, thanks!!
What do you think about Energy Engineering? It’s a course that comprehends Electrical + Generation Methods (petroleum, nuclear and sustainable ones) Then with a Robotics or Computer Science minor it becomes very complete, right?
I’m Brazilian and Universities are free here (if you pass of course) so I want to make the best use possible.
Hey Jake... I'm going to major electrical engineering this year and I would really love a video on skills to learn while in school that attract meaningful jobs in the 21st century.
Love your work. Thank you so much!
Yuppppp, people on my 1% board have suggested that. Good request. I’ll get working on it! Make sure to have the bell turned on because it’ll probably be a couple weeks. I have a new Matt Tran rip coming out soon hahahahaha. For now, do you have any more questions? I respond to 100% of comments so I encourage you to ask whatever you like bruh thanksssss
@@JakeVoorhees wow you really do care. Thank you once more. Looking forward to the episode :)
One of my favorite things about your channel is that I can tell you are very proud to be an engineer. I am in my last year of my aerospace engineering undergraduate program and I absolutely love my field of study. The only thing I would change is that obviously aerospace is number one then its mechanical, electrical and civil!
Heyyy thanks for the comment. Yup, you're right. I love engineering and I try to be super encouraging. I just made my own engineering degree tier list video that is out soon, and I think I made AE 4th. It's really hard for it to outweigh the big 3 engineering majors, civil/electrical/mechanical, because they are all 300,000+ jobs vs AE with 66,000. However, I did say in the video that if I was a first year engineering student right now, I would do AE for sure. I'm the most excited about that sector, and to me, it is 100% future proof.
Have you seen my AE videos? They could be helpful. “What is Aerospace Engineering? What do Aerospace Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/vDa0fB6kxVc/видео.html

Heyyy thanks for the comment. What are you up to in your engineering career journey? Let me know what questions you have and I can help you with those, cheers thanks again!
Hey Jake! Can you help me? I’m enrolling to a top university soon. I want to study engineering and I’m leaning more to CS and Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering, CS because it’s broad and is a very good place where my knowledge can grow and also the pay and it being future proof. Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering because I like inventing things, I’m like a dwarf at it and really good at making things plus I have ADHD and I think sitting on a computer for hours will not help me, medication worsens it. What do you think?
You really cleared things up for me, lol.
I am currently looking at Mechanical Engineering, glad it's top 3, so I'll be checking it out.
Could you do a video about Biotechnology in the future? It would be incredibly useful while there aren't many videos out there covering that topic
Hi there, interesting video, I personally like both Shane's and your channels. Perhaps an interesting comparison, Chemical Engineering vs Computer Engineering? I am soon to be a 2-nd year student in the US and I am from Eastern Europe. The demand for software here is huge, but I cannot find many chemical engineering positions. If both majors had the same possible outcome in terms of job availability and salary, I would pick Chemical. However, I don't know now, both of them are interesting. Any tips?
Hey Jake, I recently heard about Construction Management and I heard that the pay is better compared to Civil Engineering. I was wondering if Construction Management degree considered to be an Engineering degree??
Hey thanks for the comment. So, Construction Management is essentially a branch within CE. You become a construction manager by getting a degree in either construction or civil engineering, and then go on to get your PE and probably PMP certification as well. This sector makes the most within civil engineering, and I know this because I'm using the 2019 ASCE salary report for data on the highest civil engineering salaries. Construction sits at #1 at an industry median of $119,000 base salary. I did a video about construction engineering and you can see that here, as it may help, Construction Engineering sits nearby civil engineering, so make sure you watch this too, “Is Construction Engineering A Good Major | Construction Engineering vs Civil Engineering” ruclips.net/video/HHiBTH4ufYU/видео.html thanks and let me know any follow up questions you have okay? Cheers!
hey i have a question about the degrees in my uni because there isnt a general mechanical engineering degree, i'll list the programs available at my uni and give me your opinion about which is the better one since you are an engineer yourself
1. Chemical Engineering
2. Civil Engineering
3. Electrical Engineering (Biomedical)
4. Electrical Engineering (Computer)
5. Electrical Engineering (Electrical Power and Machines)
6. Electrical Engineering (Electronics and Communications)
7. Industrial Engineering
8. Mechanical Engineering (Aeronautical)
9. Mechanical Engineering (Production Engineering and Mechanical Systems Design)
10. Mechanical Engineering (Thermal Engineering and Desalination Technology)
11. Mining Engineering
12. Nuclear Engineering
13. Nuclear Engineering (Radiation Protection)
14. Nuclear Engineering (Medical Physics)
i dont really have my mind on anything so far but i'll be happy if it makes good money and is flexible with job opportunities
Could answer this question. Do you think that choosing electrical engineering and computer science as a double major would be better and more efficient than a single major in computer engineering?
I’m an engineer, & I can say it’s not the only 4yr degree that pays dividends & opens up doors, my sister was ICU RN, and made/still makes more money than I do, especially during covid, we were out of work while the nursing field was cleaning up at the bank. 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. It’s more of a durable career choice given we all get old at some point.
True. I almost chose it, but I'm glad I didn't because I was able to avoid getting vaxed because the company I work for as an engineer let us decide. Looking back, Thank god.
Love your description of industrial engineering.
Editing is 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thank you sir!! Always enjoy your comments cheers. Let me know if I can help you with anything. I chatted w Astro lately and we want to have a discord team meetup. Thanks!!
Is mining engineering a good career to go to as only a bachelors and having a it support certification
I’m going into college next yr and I’m interested in working in construction. Do you recommend getting a civil engineering or structural, or architectual engineering degree? Also after getting a bachelors do you recommend getting a construction management degree? or maybe an mba?
Hey great question. So you should get a civil engineering degree, or even like my alma mater, University of Delaware, sometimes you can find bachelors degrees in Construction Engineering. But just do civil if that is what is available to you, and focus your concentration on construction and yes project management courses. You will end up getting your PE most likely as well as yes your PMP certification.
MBA is more for the white collab C-Suite sort of avenue, which is not what you will need in construction management / construction engineering, at least not right away. Either way, my suggestion is to get out of bachelors and get to work right away. Work 4-5 years, take the PE, and then decide what you want. It's very normal for young engineers to want to create a plan farrrrr before its the right time to make that plan, and far before you even know if you like the field / focus / sector / whatever.
I have this video on Construction Engineering, where I interviewed the professor at UD, Dr. Small, on this topic, “Is Construction Engineering A Good Major | Construction Engineering vs Civil Engineering” ruclips.net/video/HHiBTH4ufYU/видео.html. I think it's a great field if you like it. Super support that. Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have k? I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!

Yup what a joker lol thanks Momen
My semester starts in the fall, and I chose chemical Engineering bc I live near Texas, where there are a BUNCH of plants. Not sure if this is the right move?...
Yeah hey thanks for the question. So in this video, I do chat about that. How based on your area, if there are a lot of XYZ niche engineering roles, and you like that direction, sure do it. I think thats okay. I live here in DuPont country and there are a lootttt of chemical engineers and they all make good $$ and have cool jobs. You cannot do that anywhere, but yeah Texas is a good place for that. You'll be fine okay, cheers thank you! Let me know what else I can help you with, thanks again! I respond to all comments, later
@@JakeVoorhees Ok, thanks for the reply! I’m deciding between chemical and mechanical engineering as my major. I’m honestly leaning toward mechanical because if I do choose chemical I would be solely dependent on working at a plant down here. With mechanical, there are a lot of different paths I can go! I can still go to a plant if I want to with mechanical engineering. I plan on moving to Texas anyways after graduation, because I feel like there are a lot more engineering opportunities in that area. Again, thanks for the guidance.
@@DukeCommitt Add some computer science to those degrees and you can choose to live wherever you want
Great video jake 👍 when chosing a field of engineering you should reflect on your geographical location. Are there experts in that field at your nearest University? The job prospects really depends on your location

As someone who studied Mechanical, Shane's video initially confused me, but it is good to have these debates.
Hey thanks ya I know right. Glad to have your comment and cheers. So here are some ME resources that may help you.

Which one is better in terms of scope, job opportunities and high pay scale? Electrical engineer or Electronics Engineer?
I want to go electrical engineering in NTNU in Norway, but i have never done programming before, is it doable for a guy who suck at computer stuff.
Hey Jake, I dont't agree everytimes you say chemical engineering is not that good. Like How can you get/know all the engineer's jobs number?
How difficult is it to find a job with an environmental engineering degree compared to getting a degree with one of the big three degrees? I love the idea of working with the environment somehow but am a bit anxious about the job prospects. If I do major in a big three degree, is it difficult to specialize in environmental engineering for certain degrees in particular? For example, how much harder is it for a mechanical engineering degree student to specialize in environmental than it is for an electrical or civil engineering student? Would you recommend flat out majoring in environmental engineering or one of the big three? - A concerned 12th grader (in Texas, but I think I may end up living in North Carolina just because of how beautiful it is there.)
I live in NC and I can say it is definitely a good state. For a mechanical engineering major to specialize in environmental would likely not be possible, so yeah. IF you want to do environmental, stay towards the civil engineering side of things. It might be harder to find an Environmental engineer job simply because there are less of them out there. However if you do the right things, it should not be an issue.
Hey thanks for the great comment. There are 55,000 environmental engineering jobs in the US which puts it in the top 7 engineering types. And it’s likely that your degree, like mine, will be entitled “civil and environmental engineering”. Environmental engineering exists at the undergraduate level, but it’s usually combined with civil.
With a civil & environmental degree, you can focus on environmental engineering in your internships, tech electives, and networking tactics, but lean on civil engineering roles as well when needed. So don’t worry okay.
I would just encourage you towards civil if you’re going for big three. It’s far more likely that as a civil engineer you can work with the environment. Environmental engineering is technically a branch of civil. Mechanical or electrical engineers can work with companies who produce designs or systems for the environment too, but the smartest choice is civil/environmental.
Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have k? I respond to every comment. Cheers!!
I'm a second year Mechie from a top-notch Engineering university in my country. I have developed interest in Materials Engineering, as you know Materials Engineering is a subfield of Mechanical Engineering, MaterialsE itself has many branches like Ceramic Engineering, Metallurgical engineering, Polymer Engineering Semiconductor engineering,Bio Materials engineering, Nano engineering, Composites Engineering,etc.
So I wanna ask, is Materials sector a good choice scope wise?
Hey bro loved your vid, I'm going into mechanical engineering here in the uk
Would computer science be more competitive or easier to get a job than mechanical engineering?
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.
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 🌻🌻
I started off as electrical engineering but had to switch to mechanical engineering because of financial reasons. Mechanical engineering is substantially cheaper at my university. However, I am taking some computer science classes to break into software engineering. I also plan on doing a masters in computer science. I miss electrical engineering and truly believe that it's for me. I also love mechanical and feel as though I have reached an excellent compromise for the price I'm paying. I hate that I'll miss out on all the programming and signal based classes but I enjoy my statics and dynamics courses too. Good luck to everyone out there!
Ok don't give it hard. You shouldn't be great engineer like Nikola Tesla
Hello. I am going to have to pick which type of engineering major to go into pretty soon. My coding skills are relatively poor but I am pretty good at math. If electrical engineering isn’t suited for me, out of the remaining big two which one should I pick?
You would have to define your interests. ME has less coding, but you will still have to learn MATLAB at some point in your career, if you go this route. Combine your interests with a major that is general/broad and you will be good to go.
Amazing video! Very informative! May I ask a question please? How do you feel about a BSE degree in ‘Engineering Management’? I was thinking about applying...specifically at Arizona State Online. It is ABET accredited. I actually want to go into Hydrology and work more in the labs/research (plan to get Masters in ‘Hydrology and Water Security’). I know I don’t have to go through Engineering to go this route...but I figured I can get the most out of my bachelors with a more ‘valuable’ degree...more then Environmental Science or something...although I think those are wonderful. Just trying to get the most for my bucks. Engineering Management from ASU? 🤔
Thank you in advance! 🤞🏼✨

hello! I'm SO interested in Environmental Engineering. A top university in my city (top 50 world and second best college in Canada) offers a Major in Civil Engineering with a minor in environmental engineering with a possibility to specialize in environmental with a master's. The same minor with Chemical engineering too. Should I go with civil or chemical if I really want to work in the renewable energy industry?
I’m not an engineer I’m just a year 10 student in the UK but from what I’ve seen, I’d say that engineering professions generally fall under three main categories that tend to overlap, Mechanical Systems, Electrical and Software systems and then finally Biochemical systems, so like biomed is a mix of mechanical, electrical and Biochemical, mechatronics is electrical and mechanical (and biochemical to some extent with bionics) etc
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.
I think the government is a decent source for projecting how good a career is for the most part. Like you said, paradigm shifts can occur but those are super rare and rarely ever happen with any sort of frequency. I don't think Shane is trying to say the government is infallible when it comes to job forecasting, but that they're simply the best source overall.
Great video man. I watch Shane Hummus lol. You just got a new subscriber. :)
Awesome! Thank you! Are you going to choose engineering? Let me know how else I can help you. I respond to all comments, cheers!
@@JakeVoorhees Yeah Im choosing Electrical Engineering. Should I minor in Software Engineering while majoring in EE?
@@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? Let me know what follow up or other questions you may have and I can help you with those, cheers! Appreciate you as a part of 1% Nation thankssss

I got into Purdue for first year engineering. I am still split between aerospace and mechanical engineering. Someday I would like to work for a larger aerospace company like Lockheed, Boeing or Raytheon. I was wondering if it would be better to go pure aerospace for undergrad and grad or do mechanical for undergrad and aero for grad? Is there an advantage with one path or the other?
As a senior AE student, I recommend you do mech undergrad aero grad just to open up your options if you decide not to go down the aero route. The only reason I'd do aero undergrad is if you're 95% sure this is what you want as your career and also, purdue is well known for its aero program so you got that going for you too if you decide to stick with aero undergrad. Also the first 2 years of mech and aero are very similar so a swich can be made wherever you change your mind
Purdue is a greatttt school. I applied there for grad school (only applied to 4 schools). I support pure aerospace in some situations because there are a pretty good amount of jobs, 66,000 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!
Yeah I like this response, and support the attitude. Especially because you are in the thick of it. Thanks for the comment. Here while it's fresh on your mind because you're a senior, let me ask you think. Of your AE classmates, do you often see that some of the AEs regret it and wished they had chosen ME? Cheers thanks so much, looking forward to your reply

I plan on majoring in chemical engineering, may I get your input on that major? I’m a bit worried about the job outlook after graduation. BTW thanks for correcting shane’s video I knew that his tier list was iffy.
Ya it sucked. Thanks a ton for commenting. It’s hard for me to be very encouraging towards chemical engineering because of how small the industry is. There are only 32,600 chemical engineering jobs in the USA right now. And check this out, “Chemical Engineering was the 66th most popular major in the 2018-2019 school year. Colleges in the United States reported awarding 14,406 degrees in this year alone.” www.collegefactual.com/majors/engineering/chemical-engineering/
So yeah that’s why I’m upset with Shane not looking at what I have started to call “degree saturation ratio” which is exactly this situation. Do you think 14,000 chemical engineers are dropping out of the industry at the same time? No way. So engineers who get that degree are forced to step into some other industry. Process engineering, software development, food engineering, pharmaceutical engineering, petroleum engineering, etc are all avenues that many chemical engineers have to take in order to find a job.
So my attitude is this alright. Maybe you LOVE chemical engineering. Maybe you come from a city or family or culture or country that is heavily invested in chemical engineering. I mean I went to the University of Delaware (President Biden’s alma mater) where the DuPont family invested soooo much into chemical engineering so it’s ranked really high. The engineering building is called DuPont Hall. There were a lot of chemical engineers there and they were super smart. So there are what I would call exceptions.
However, outside of this, I think it’s better to choose a bigger industry like mechanical or electrical or civil or computer science where you can then back door into the chemical industry if you want. Most engineering degrees can get you most jobs. It’s more about experience and who you know and how you market yourself to that role and industry. So my attitude is, why barrow your options with a limiting degree?
I made these videos on chemical engineering to learn more, “What can Chemical Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/DGEwoGjMP0M/видео.html and “Chemical Engineer Interview” ruclips.net/video/5o8QzeIlHuk/видео.html

@@JakeVoorhees I'm going to be a Computer Engineer. I do have a question. Should I minor in anything and if so what would be a good minor for Computer Engineers or various Engineers in general?
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. Cheers and thanks again!
Started off in Astronautical Engineering but realized I am more interested in the rocket engine itself than satellites and structures, so I switched over to Mechanical Engineering - Propulsion Track before classes forked off in different directions.

Hi Jake, would robotics and automation or computer science be a better degree combination with electrical engineering?
Hey thanks to much for the comment. Good question. Okay so EE is half way to a computer science degree already. In fact, many EEs work as software developers, programmers, and software engineers after graduation as it is. In terms of robotics or automation, what you are referring to is a subset between EE and mechanical engineering called "mechatronics".
I get a lot of questions about mechatronics engineering - probably more than any other subset of engineering nowadays. I think mechatronics is the future. It is the intersection of mechanical and electrical engineering, so you can lean into either the physical design side i.e. mechanics, or the electrical engineering aspects which would include the circuitry, signals and controls, power, automation, and programming aspects. I think a mechatronics engineer who leans into the electrical engineering side of things is VERY well suited for the future. Here are some videos that you may be interested in, “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/4YjLZcQRLds/видео.html
There are only 28 mechatronics programs in the country, so often times you have to choose EE or ME and do a degree concentration in mechatronics, which is fine. This video will help you decide which one to do, “Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering” ruclips.net/video/6PJ-Yw5qVsc/видео.html

@@JakeVoorhees Thanks so much for the effort you have put in responding to my question. I actually live in Perth Australia and the University I am studying in requires us to do mechatronics as an undergraduate and an accelerated master's(electrical engineering) which altogether takes about 5 years. I was wondering whether the degree name "automation and robotics" would be clear to employers when I apply for mechatronics positions or would employers assume I have just studied a robotics degree?
I’m having a hard time deciding between CSE and majoring in AI or going to EE and majoring in Computer Engineering.
Hey thanks for the comment. Okay so basically you have to decide how much raw programming you want to do vs the application and integration of that code with either computer or electronic systems. You can have equally awesome careers in either Computer Science / Electrical Engineering / Computer Engineering. As you eluded to in your comment, I am glad you understand computer engineering is a subset of electrical engineering so we don't need to discuss that here.
AI is a very broad field so there is no single answer, but if you are going to major in engineering, then the more you know about computer science, the better. Majoring in CS is probably the absolute best avenue, but either can do, especially electrical engineering because of how closely it sits to computer science. Other skills/subjects that are valuable including mathematics, statistics, data science, and even cognitive science are good subjects to take as electives.
Any engineering degree can put you in a position to pretty much do whatever you want, particularly one that is mechanical or electrical engineering, and again... the closer you are to a skilled programmer, the more your options open up, regardless of you choosing ME/EE/Aerospace/ChemE, etc
Let’s say you go with engineering. I would encourage you to use any opportunity in your engineering curriculum to take a CS or math course that garners some skill that builds momentum for a career in AI. Do the same with your internships - work with companies that do something within AI. Same with the professors you build relationships with, the events you go to and the people you network with, as well as the engineering organizations/societies/clubs that you join.
Once you become super intentional about your career, everything sort of falls into place the way you intend for it to do. And when you decide you're getting bored or you want something else, you can simply shift everything in the above paragraph, and repeat it. I've done civil engineering, into traffic engineering, into intelligent transportation systems, into travel demand modeling, into wedding videography, digital marketing, RUclips, and even was with a startup for 2 years and featured on ABC's Shark Tank.
You can do whatever you want with an engineering degree :) Does this help?
Let me know what follow up questions you may have and I can try to help with those. Cheers!
PS I also often get questions about what coding languages to learn in order to have a career in AI. For AI momentum, the primary language is 100% Python. Lisp is a legacy language for the industry. Also C++, Java, R, Prolog are all used in the AI industry.

Hey what do you think about mechatronics engineering? I got accepted into a university fkr mechatronics and for computer science and i have a hard time choosing between them.

“What Do Computer Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/hiL-cTbz188/видео.html
As for your interest in both MTREs and CS, I think it depends on your interests. Just know that if you choose CS, you will never really be able to work with the integration or design or engineering side of mechatronics applications at all. Your career will 100% be focused on the programming. Some people want that, and some people do not. What I like about choosing engineering is that A LOT of engineers can be programmers. If you get a CS degree, it is much more difficult to get an engineering role. So you can see where I am steering you :)
Does that help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have, as I respond to 100% of questions, cheers and thanks again!!
@@JakeVoorhees thanks for your reply.
What do you think of the job prospects and the demand for mechatronics enginners? Computer science is so appealing to me because there is a huge demand and it's diverse. There was one person who studied mechatronics who said that mechatronics is a good degree only if someone wants to pursue postgraduate studies since it covers a lot of fields so a person can pursue and specialise in different types of engineering, but if not then employers would rather hire a mechanical engineer or an electrical because they spend 4 years studying it and they have better knowledge about their respective fields than someone who studied mechatronics.

There are only 28 ABET accredited mechatronics programs in the USA vs 337 mechanical engineering and 315 for electrical engineering. So most "mechatronics engineers" did not actually major in that. I think that person was suggesting that it's not a great idea to seek out a pure MTRE degree, which is probably true. You can end up in mechatronics with CS, CompE, ME, EE, etc.
CS can also get you access to a lot of engineering-like roles. In fact, CS is considered an engineering degree. There are 283 CS ABET accredited programs, which is nuts but true.

Question jack: I am in my 2 year of electrical engineering but I do not the enjoy coding part of it. Is there sub fields in electrical engineering that doesn’t require coding at all or very little ?
Ehhhhhhh, tough one. Thanks for the comment. So I suppose you weren't 100% sure what electrical engineering entailed when you chose the major? EE is one of the few that essentially requires a lot of coding, so you cannot really avoid it. I would do this... talk to your advisor about switching to mechanical engineering. All of your classes will most likely transfer and you can stay on course to graduate on time. That or you may need just one more semester, or you can do summer/winter classes to stay on course.
Otherwise, if you cannot change majors, you need to do your "concentration" in mechatronics engineering, which is the bridge between EE and ME, where you can work more so on the design of the circuitry and the physical side of EE, which avoids more coding than the pure EE aspect. There are some other aspects with EE, like Electronics Engineering, that are discussed in this video, “Jobs for Electrical Engineers over $100,000” ruclips.net/video/Vi4hkCeNWs0/видео.html.
But honestly I would switch majors. You should like you should be an ME, so maybe check this video too, “Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering” ruclips.net/video/6PJ-Yw5qVsc/видео.html.
So I hope that helps? Might be a tough situation but talk to your advisors. Talk to your mentors. Talk to some people and figure out the right thing to do for you. You can ask me any questions or as many questions as you like okay? I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!
You can get into the power side of things. I work as an EE specializing in power distribution for large buildings, airports etc. This is a field that requires no coding, and sounds like a great field for you. If I were you I would stay in a job that requires coding, that gives you more flexibility. Software is the future and an EE with coding skills would put you in the top tier of engineers.
Is bachelor of engineering technology ( Advanced manufacturing and digital design ) a good degree?
Hey man I dont know if you will see this but do you know or have you heard of people in the industry with mechanical eng degrees who have transferred over to finance. How hard would it be, would I have to go get an MBA?
Hey thanks for the comment. Nah you don't necessarily have to have an MBA, you just have to prove you have the skills for the job. It's best to pick out a few potential roles in finance and study them. This is the great thing about engineering. Engineers can get any job
I already have the degree and career in mind alongside tactics and strategies for engineering, but this was still entertaining.
Is a Bachelor's or Master's degree required to become an engineer or is an Associate's Degree good enough? I'm asking because this a huge financial risk and am looking for a high ROI on my investment.

Is Bachelors of engineering technology ( Advanced manufacturing and digital design a good degree ) ?
How heavy is EE for theoretical math and programming? My programming isnt really the best and im not certain about theoretical math as well but i manage to get a B in calculus.
Hey Kevin, good question and thanks for the comment. EE requires THE MOST theoretical math and more programming than any other type of engineering field. Computer engineering is a subset of EE, and the only way you can get more coding than EE is to actually be a computer science major. In fact, if you look at a lot of EE programs, the major is called, "Electrical Engineering and Computer Science" - they are combined.
Mechanical and Civil engineering, the other of the big 3, are tangible. You can see the designs, whereas you cannot see electricity or magnetism. ME and CE both require a lot of math and are still hard majors, but it seems like EE is not the right fit for you.

Yup! Thanks for the comment. K so I personally did transportation because of its connection to technology. Driverless vehicles, connected infrastructure communication with vehicles, drones, flying cars, etc - this stuff is heavily connected to our technological progression. Buildings and bridges? Not so much, there is much less innovation. The main thing going on there is how we model them using Building Information Modeling (BIM) versus the old way.

Thank you for this awesome comment! I save my favorite ones. This one is included now. So I guess "SE" was software engineering? Yeah you don't want to study that. There are only 30 ABET programs so if you're going to do one, its CS rather than SE. Plus, EE and CPE degrees can work as software engineers, so I fully support you doing EE.
Have you see my EE videos? “What Do Electrical Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/zRawKI6Qsm0/видео.html
And this one talks about high paying EE roles:
“Jobs for Electrical Engineers over $100,000” ruclips.net/video/Vi4hkCeNWs0/видео.html
Also, a lot of electrical engineers wish to work in mechatronics/robotics, so check out this video “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/4YjLZcQRLds/видео.html
And since computer engineering is a subset of electrical engineering, “What Do Computer Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/hiL-cTbz188/видео.html
I hope these help. Let me know what follow up questions you have so I can help you with those. I respond to all questions. Cheers and thanks again!!
I greatly appreciate this video as it is really hard to trust any of the information Shane gives as it sometimes feels very clouded.
Make a video about how to enter the space industry, like whether should we get a degree in aerospace or get a degree in mechanical engineering. Ohh and whether is it possible to get a master in aerospace by having a mechanical degree?
Hey thanks for the comment. Good question. I do have some information on this, these videos will help:
“What is Aerospace Engineering? What do Aerospace Engineers Do?” ruclips.net/video/vDa0fB6kxVc/видео.html
“Aerospace Engineer Interview | How To Get A Job At Boeing | How To Get A Job At Lockheed Martin” ruclips.net/video/NuPAiaonLrQ/видео.html

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!
@@JakeVoorhees This does help and makes sense, really appreciate your reply :).
However, I am a Malaysian which means most of the space companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin would not hire me as an employee unless I become a US citizen, this also means I can't really go to an internship at any companies due to my major being restricted in terms of job opportunity and I am not a US citizen right?
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.
Lastly, about the salary, because when I watch your videos I noticed AE earn more than ME. Does it mean that on average if I get into the space industry as a ME rather as an AE, I world earn less money at the same job and experience?
Anyway, really appreciate your effort on reading my long words and still willing to reply on it.
