Engineering Interview. Answers from engineers appreciated.

[Zunori]

Hi. I'm a high school student currently and I am interested in taking a look into the engineering field. I am taking an engineering/mathematics class at the moment, and one of our assignments is to interview a professional in the field to get to know more about how the career path is.
I just have some general questions about how everything goes. I don't need essays, but moderate detail would be appreciated to help me get more insight.

• Please describe your engineering field.
• What is your current job title?
• Please describe your particular job and duties.
• What is your average work schedule?
• Starting with high school, please describe your educational background chronologically.
• If you had it to do over, related to your career or education, would you do anything differently?
• What advice would you give to me as someone interested in pursuing a career path similar to yours?

And some optional information about your background in the field would be appreciated.
such as...

• Name
• Specific degree
• Place of employment
• Email address

Thank you for your time!
