I thought everyone on the internet was an engineer or a programmer?
Don't really want to give out my name or job or contact information...but I can answer the questions :o
I'm a CS major enrolled in my Engineering School (so I'm technically an engineer!). Entering a job next fall, but experience from internship.
1. Probably like ~2 hours coding, others meetings, playing ping-pong, surfing reddit, lunch. Much fun.
2. Sometimes coding is boring if it isn't interesting (aka debugging).
3. Making cool stuff
4. Yea have a few internships/cool projects under my belt.
5. What dress code?
6. What personal life? Less time for ball and League I guess.
7. 40 hours/week usually
8. What job doesn't have PTO, health care, and 401k? If it doesn't, I wouldn't want to work there.
9. Coding is 4 kewl kids.
10. Sociability, and ability to think outside the box.
I'm gonna shoot for Mechanical Engineering or Engineering Management. Got my eyes on Tesla. But some bad luck just happened so now a big chunk of money I saved up for paying for hte classes just got drained out... well at least I can plan and get extra ready till then.
@xronellx: I think it depends on the major. I'm taking Marine Engineering Technology and honestly its not that hard (yet). Still learning the basics about the systems and parts of the ship.
Apparently, Mechanical Engineering major is the hardest major in my school.
@leadin: How is the training for engineer?
I wish I could help, but I'm still an engineer in training
