I just sent my son a text, "I assume you, like me, are a mechanical engineer?" His reply, "I believe so." He headed back to A&M yesterday for his last exam today and to move out. He ran online from home here since mid-March. Darn proud Dad here and he, like me in 1985, is eager to get on with work after a couple of summer months in north Idaho with his fiance.

Very cool, congrats!
 
tell him to pursue his passion, not a paycheck. Better to be happy at work than hate it.
 
If you enjoy what you do for a living, you will never work a day in your life. No truer words have ever been spoken on that subject.
 
Being a Mechanical Engineer has been fruitful for me. I have my own business now and love the freedom!
(tell him to learn about the business, and sales with the technical side along the way)
 
Congrats to your son, from a fellow (of you) class of '85 grad (but EE, but on an old program with a lot of ME classes - heat transfer, fluid dynamics, stress/strain/wind tunnel/etc. lab)
 
I became interested in mechanical engineering while working in a garage as a teenager and cursing out the car designers for making some repair jobs too difficult. After a career in the USAF, I still haven’t designed any cars.:lol:

Good on your son @EdM! He will weave his way through the myriad paths possible for well educated people.
