If by some miracle I matriculate, China looks like the future hotspot for innovation.

Engineering is high stress though...

I think its more important to be good at what you do then to do what you want and suck at it. Engineers are the only thing preventing the technological meltdown of modern soceity. A minor mistake could kill many, many, people. Remember, with mass manufacturing, your mistake could copied millions of times.

I think I wanna be a highrise apartment engineer, nuclear power-plant engineer, or how about designing assembly lines for slaughterhouses. Yeah, those'd be a low-stress jobs

As if the saftey of the consumer isn't enough to worry about, your throwing around some suit's wad of cash...

Honestly I think it would be hard to have enough confidence to be a professional engineer.
