G. Mark’s Answer

My first job was at IBM and then I was hired by Bell Laboratories. What I can say that pleasantly surprised me was that the people were, almost without exception, not only very smart, but very generous with their time. They were mostly having fun at their jobs and you could tell. And they were eager to help the new folks. And for that matter, to help anyone. It was fascinating, challenging, a lot of work, and I don't think I'd have preferred to do anything else. So I'd say, "supportive" is a good term. We were all a team and we did whatever was necessary to get the problem solved. Just great.

Estelle’s Answer

Its great that you are thinking of engineering and if you are interested in electricity, electronics, magnetism, physics and chemistry, you are going down the right path. Remember the first 2 years of you degree will be in basic science, the third year you will take deeper dives into electronics, digital and analog design, some programming, and power distribution like transformers, motors and the such. Your 4th year will be where you take electives specializing in one or several areas of electrical engineering. I would think you would work for a few years as an engineer, then go after your masters in the area you want work the majority of your career. Having said that I have a really great friend that works as an electrical engineer in a maintenance department for a big company. She likes her job because she feel so useful, when things break she has to decide how to best fix things, or replace them , like motors and transformers. Everybody treats her good as she has learned a lot of things about the business and people rely on her for good decisions. Also she works to design preventative maintenance programs for machines and equipment to help keep them running good and not breaking down.
