Entering my Junior year studying Mechanical Engineering. I'm currently trying to decide whether or not I want to continue my summer job in Modular Robotics as an independent study next semester. I love my school and while the engineering department is not as large as many others and as a result I can't specialize as much as most engineering students can I'm actually glad I'm not as specialized because being more general give me more options for jobs. I actually feel like I will be graduating at the perfect time for job hunting because the economy should be rebounding at that point and companies will have been starving themselves of new hires for so long that there should be a lot of hiring going on. Throw in the general shortage of engineers in this country and I should be fine. I'm much more worried that I'm going to hate being an engineer, so we'll just have to wait and see.
