Hello,
I'm a non-science major who took a few math classes and has a lot of science AP credit. I was wondering what a career switch to engineering might involve (2nd bachelor's? master's?). What are some ways I could find out more about what it's like to work as an engineer (volunteering? where for example?). Lastly, I was curious about what career options exist for people who like working by themselves or as part of a team but remotely. Is there such a thing as "freelance engineer" working on various short-term projects, or what's building one's own engineering company like? I've googled all of that but I feel a little lost in the plethora of sometime contradictory results. Feel free to direct me towards books, articles, etc... that you've found authoritative. I'm especially interested in Electrical, as well as Chemical and Biochemical Engineering.
Thanks
