Sanjay, you are very young and just getting started. You can do anything you want to do. It is extremely common for people in their 20s to change careers a couple of times until they land in a field that suits them. This happens because they don't really know what the career is they are...

You are right. Thanks for the encouragement.

That's encouraging. Thanks!

I assumed that was the case. I have a very, very strong analytical mind, but I "think" my spatial intelligence is average at best, and quite possibly deficient ... lol ... i say this because I seem to find myself getting disoriented with a sense of direction and I also don't have an artistic...

The joke I always heard was that they were the only ones more boring than accountants!

Thanks. Maybe we will move to Dallas. We are considering making a move for this very reason. What is the economy like? Where i live (deep south), if you make $100K you can live well as a single person, and raise a family comfortably, but not extravagantly. A town home in the city is...

From my limited persepctive, I would have to say that electrical is where my interests most lie. But, with that being said, I also want to be smart about my decision and pick a track that will have the most job prospects (not necesarily the highest paid, but rather the strongest job security)...

Avante-garde, Sankaku's last sentence is what I meant by fish out of water. That's exactly my sentiment.

Point taken on the fan blade idea. If that's all it amounted too, I certainly wouldn't do it. I have not worked at a company with engineers, but my wife is an ee so I do know a little bit about the culture. I don't really think the finance gig will do it, although finance is definitely more...

Do you have any ideas on the best markets for ee? In our region, it's pretty tough for my ee wife.

Well said, and I admire your wit. Would you mind elaborating on job opportunities? I do not want to be ignorant on this point. I am 35 making this change, so let's assume I'm 40 when my education is completed and I transition into the job market.

Yes, for sure. But, I really do believe there is a lot to be said for not being a fish out of water.

The math is no problem. I have always had an interest in math and my book shelves are littered with many volumes of related subject matter. My education is limited, but the interest and capacity are there. Thanks for the comment on civil. That's the kind of perspective I was seeking. My...

Thank you very much for your comments. I will look into this. I was leaning more towards engineering because of the marketability of the degree and the fact that you actually produce something of use to society. And, as you say, the academic track is always before me if I indeed like the...

Avant-garde - I appreciate your comment and understand you more than you can know. In writing this post, you have taken a page out of my playbook for this is the type of thought process I engage in continually. It is rare to meet a similar soul, so thank you very much for the breath of...
