Types of jobs while studying for my engineering degree?

[drant22]

Aside from typical engineering internships, what other opportunities might I look into while studying for my Mechanical Engineering degree? I am holding down a part time job currently, so the workload can be handled, but I am looking to maybe try to get anything related to the field, but I am not sure of the options I may have.

I know I may be able to get a junior drafting job depending on the requirements from the employer, which I do have a decent amount of experience. I am also located in NYC(Staten Island) so I do have a decent geographic location when it comes to options to work. Does anyone have suggestions as to where I may start looking?

I currently have 90% of my Accounting BS completed and around 65% of my Mech Engineering BS completed, will probably finish both at the same time.

Aside from typical engineering internships, you could look into research positions at universities or companies. Depending on the requirements from the employer, you may be able to find a junior design job or a position in product development. You can also look into positions in operations, supply chain, or manufacturing engineering. Additionally, you could consider jobs that involve the application of mechanical engineering principles in other fields such as automotive, aerospace, medical device, and energy industries. If you have a background in accounting, you could also explore opportunities in finance or business analysis. Finally, depending on your experience and skills, you could explore consulting or teaching opportunities. Good luck!
