Hi everyone !
Iv read a lot of threads that brings up this subject . But couldnt find anyone that were in "my shoes"
Im a 24 year old guy who lives in Sweden and works as a carpenter ( 5 years experience )
Iv been studying math , physics and chemistry at evenings and nights for 2 years along side my fulltime job as an carpenter
and now Im finally qualified to study engineer in collage,
WELL , Im having abit difficullty to choose between mechanical and civil engineer ( bachelor ).
Im a carpenter and have experience and i guess that will help me if i study civil engineer and eventually help me get a job easier due to my background. But it feels like ur pretty much locked down into buildings and stuff and im not sure if i want that .
BUT mechanical is much more broad in fields to work with. U can work offshore ( thinking of norway) at oilriggs, manufacturing of cars , machines . well the list goes on. I dont know how a workday for a mechanical engineer looks like. Iv search alot and even tried youtube . Tried to download solidworks to get a hunt but the dang gave me a virus...
My Goals are to move to Australia and work as an engineer there. I cant stand the cold in Sweden...
Please help me make it easier to choose !
Best regards , Pierre
