Well, to be honest, my career path deviated from engineering. Nowadays, I work in project management in the tech industry. But that was only because an opportunity presented itself and I decided to give it a shot. I enjoyed studying engineering and I don't regret it.
I think there will always be a place for a competent engineer because in essence, an engineer really is a problem solver and there will be no shortage of problems to solve, ever.
If you go the Project Management route, having accounting knowledge will be a great fit! I had to learn the hard way that projects are not only about delivering, but there is a whole financial layer that can be very complicated if you don't have the right skills.
Having an engineering degree is always a good thing. Many job opening accept engineers, even if the actual job is not directly related to engineering. A lot of project managers I know are engineers :)
Intersem is more likely a summer class. We will having internship this summer. I'm studying civil engineering.
Ohh nice! I'm a chemical engineer
Good luck with your internship!
Is being an engineer still worth it until today?
It's nice to see a lot of engineers in the community.
Thank you!

I am also interested with project management and accounting. I don't think I will use my degree on my future career but who knows?

That sounds promising for how many years are you as a project manager?
Well, yeah, engineers should have skills when it comes to project management.
Do you know any course to learn from about project management?
