I’m a novice at ANSYS and ABAQUS, but I really enjoy working with computational software such as SolidWorks and ProE. I’m an introvert and hate working in groups and presentations. Im quiet, modest, humble, hard working, anxious, and rely on my perseverance to get things done. I have a mechanical engineering bachelors degree and am EIT certified. Ive not been happy at my last jobs (medical devices), and I wish I was more “free” from the burdens of red-tape, meetings, presentations, and consulting. FEA to me almost sounds like a skilled trade, a niche I can own and deliver, but I don’t know where to begin. Get a masters on FEA? Teach myself via books and software? I dont want to go into FEA if someone with an associates could have taken it. I like the potential that FEA has in that I can work from home almost like a contracting service. I also like how most FEA softwares can be integrated with various CAD software.
Can anyone give me a starting point? A salary range? Any plans and suggestions or recommendations about this career path? Im already 25 and I dont want to grow too old before I make a career change!

My life is heading in a direction I am not sure of.
I am a clever kid. I get good grades in school and have all my subjects on higher level and get good marks. I am planning on applying for university admission next year, but something is really wrong.
Everyone expected me to become a doctor or engineer. OR at least something worth studying for. (Studies are expensive). But I have another plan with my life. I want to go into advertising (with a focus on the art – Art Director). I am going to study for a BA (hons) in Visual Communications Design.
Well my problem is that no one, not even me, expected me to be interested in something like this. I don’t know if I’m making the right decision. Are there job opportunities for Art Directors (I know you work your way up). Do they pay well?
I always imagined myself having a comfortable life, driving nice cars, and always said If I become something great I can have that life (We are not the richest people).
Now I am totally interested in something else, something that probably doesn’t even pay well…
Am I making the wrong decision? Should I reconsider my future? I really don’t know what to do…
HELP PLEASE!!!! 🙁

I’m about to graduate with an engineering degree from a large state school but have found my niche in tutoring. I am VERY successful with my tutoring and making almost as much as I would being an engineer, but have more flexible hours and easy work. So what I’m trying to ask is could I still get an engineering job say 5-10 years later if I had no experience being an engineer right after college or would my degree be obsolete because of the length of time? I obviously plan on keeping up with current engineering software (solidworks, excel, mathlab etc..) so would this atleast get me an entry job or would I be too outdated?

I am trying to find my niche in science and I’m looking for a career path to follow. I was talking about chemical engineering with a peer, and she told me that there was a branch of chemical engineering that only a few people (she said she thought it was 22) worked in. I’d just like to know what type of engineering that was to look into it.

I have been offered the job of Technical Services Engineer in Perth. The job is very niche and involves technical support, training and consultancy for software in the engineering sector. I have over 13 years experience in this area and I have been offered a sponsorship through a company based in Sydney. They are very confident that I will get the 457 visa.
However, what worries me is if I decide to stay in Australia and apply for permanent residency. The company seems quite confident I would have no problem in obtaining this. However, I am not so sure.
If I apply for permanent residency do I need a degree in close to me profession i.e engineering? I have degree in English (2-2) however I do have over 13 years experience.
Would this affect my chances of obtaining permanent residency?

I’ve been doing a lot of research on biomechatronic engineering as a career option in the future, and I was wondering what the yearly salary for that specific field would be. I’ve tried searching on the MIT website or other sites affiliated with biomechatronics, however I cannot find any hits on salary.
If somebody who works in that field could tell me what the range may be, that would be wonderful.
Thanks in advance.
