Hello I am currently a high school student near graduation and I want to know what skills and general ability kind of things are needed to be a good engineer. I am a student of relatively high spatial, mathematical, systematic ability and am quite good at communicating through writing as well. However I think I lack some practical skills, i.e. I am not extremely fit and have very little hands on experience on engineering tools and such.
What skills does engineering require to be good at it? I am good at all the sciences and mathematics and teachers describe me as creative when solving problems but my parents think I am not creative at all. As an engineer, do you have to be really practical and physical?
Secondly, I would like to ask what field of engineering is likely to be the next big thing? I am interested in nearly all fields, including aerospace, electrical and mechanical (cars). Also, out of these fields which one is the most practical and which one is the easiest and hardest to understand?
Thanks in advance for your help.
