Re: Starting late to be an Engineer...

While MikeBetts is the voice of experience for this case on my team I just wanted to mention something about my college experiences. I went to school with several students who were older from having worked for a few years or served in the military out of high school. These people overall had a much stronger work ethic because they knew what type of difference getting a degree would make for themselves. It may not be the easiest thing to work full time and get a degree, but I think you will hold a higher value on it than some who go straight to college and aren't really ready for it, taking it for granted. It's worth the effort and some of the intangebles you will gain from work experience on the way will make a big difference.

Pete
