Lone Tree, Colorado

I, among many other people, am striving to be a mechanical engineer. I am a freshman in high school, but I am worried by the time 8 years have passed and I have graduated college, all engineering jobs will be gone, and i will be forced to work in a field that doesn't interest me.

I am a freshman in high school and I want to be in the business of engineering, specifically, mechanical engineering. I've also wanted to work at Google, so I'm wondering if the jobs there are just cubicle jobs, or if there is hands on stuff, or if there are travel opportunities. Thanks in...
