Hello again everyone,

Sorry for posting so much, (but I'm trying to find the most info I can to make the best decisions.)

Is there a website out there that can help you find the best fields to go into for the state you live in or are going to go to school at?

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that?
