Re: Engineering - hottest career, more than Rock Star

Engineers build all the cool and fun stuff everyone else likes to play with i.e. vehicles, iPhones, Play Station, TVs, Make-up, medical equipment, sports equipment, etc. Engineers and Scientist like to make stuff. You have to be competitive and like to make stuff to be successful in this as a career. Show them those cool and fun things we make. Make it fun. Example: I made a gas powered squirt gun just for fun (actually I made two). It throws 50-60 gallons of water per minute 60-70+ feet through the air. There is not a “Super Soaker” out there that can compete with it. It works great if you have to wash something big like a house or building too although you do need a pond or small lake to keep it supplied with enough water.
