OT Question for Eng, Mechanical, Electrical, etc...
I am going back to college. My mind tends towards technical things (my current career is as a Network Eng). I'm thinking I might like Mechanical engineering, but since I've never been an ME I couldn't say for sure. I don't think I'd end up going the Chemical route. I'm more likely to do something like Electrical or Mechanical.
Can some of you engineers tell me a bit about your field, what you do, if you'd do it differently if you could do it again, etc. If you want to send me an email or PM instead of public that's fine.
Ultimately I'm not necessarily going for a career change, but for the journey, and hopefully to learn some stuff that I find interesting. I was an EE major for a couple of years when I was younger and remember thinking that most of the physics type classes were interesting, Phy 1 and 2, Statics, Dynamics, Materials, Thermo, etc...
Funny, I don't really have much desire to go into Computers, but I'm not a big fan of programming, and circuit design doesn't really sound much better.
Anyway, sorry for the use of bandwidth, but this is the best place I know to find a bunch of friendly engineers that would help educate me more about the various fields.
Thanks in Advance.
