Engineering Back to engineering after a 5-year scholarship bond in fund management?

AI Thread Summary
A fund management company is offering sponsorship for undergraduate engineering studies, requiring a five-year work commitment post-graduation. The individual is interested in fund management but aspires to pursue a career in engineering. Key concerns include the feasibility of transitioning back to engineering after fulfilling the work bond and the requirements for applying to a Master's or PhD program in engineering. Questions raised include whether previous engineering-related activities and academic performance would suffice for graduate admissions, or if prior work experience in engineering is necessary. The discussion highlights the balance between financial support and career aspirations in engineering.

Hi all,
This forum has been a great resource for me for quite some time, but this is my first time posting a thread.

A fund management company is willing to sponsor my undergraduate studies in engineering at a top university. The 'catch' is I have to work 5 years for them after I graduate. However, I don't really mind, though. It's not just because I need the money for my studies; it's also because I find fund management interesting and this company is known for being able to provide excellent training and offer challenging tasks for its scholars.

Nevertheless, I choose to study engineering because I really want to have a career in engineering. Is it possible for me to go back to engineering after the 5-year bond? Or is it possible to apply for postgrad in engineering after the 5-year bond, then venture into engineering upon attaining the postgrad?

Thanks in advance for your insights :)

Does admission into Masters/PhD in Engineering require a career in engineering before that?
Are undergraduate research and grades, along with some engineering-related activities after I graduate, sufficient?
