You chose your course, hopefully you made the right decision but what is open to you now as an engineer. You could decide to join an engineering company but a host of other opportunities are available to you, armed forces, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, all of which you can develop your career further.
As with most jobs, when you start you aren’t expected to hit the ground running straight away, you will get trained into the role you have been employed to fill. This could take the form of a structured programme, with varied experience or specialisation in one particular engineering field.
Depending on the experience you’ve gained, particulary in a specialised field you will be able to do contract work, this holds many advantages such as flexible working times, long holidays, and opportunity to gain vast experience across the globe!
Below is a short video for your amusement on what children would do if they qualified as engineers…. it’s not in English but hopefully you’ll get the idea!!!
