whats the best way too become an enginer/ technology mecanic

Hi Jazel,

I think your question has confused a couple of Job Names.:

An Engineer is someone who has completed 4 years of college and has a Bachelor of Science Degree and either design things or directs the activities of others.

The term "technology mechanic" is not a common name so I am not sure what your referring to. You may be thinking of a Technician which is some one who has usually one or two years of formal training and has either a Certificate of Completion or an Associates Degree (often from a Junior or Community College) and who in many cases will actually perform certain duties or tasks that are of a higher skill level than a mechanic.

I suggest that you Google the above job descriptions or classifications to see what type of work each does and educational background (high school grades, etc.) that each requires. Once you have done that, a visit to you school guidance councilor, who can help you define these jobs, will be very helpful. If that isn't possible, I would suggest visiting the web site of a local Community Collage and 4-year college to see what degrees they offer and what is most appealing to you. A visit to the admission office of your local Community College or 4-year college might also be helpful.

Once you have a better understanding of the educational requirements and type of work Engineers and Technicians do and how closely they fit with what you want to do, you will be in a better position to either ask more questions or focus on which type of profession you might want to persue. It would also be very helpful for you to meet with someone who is an Engineer or a Technician to discuss their career choices and how they made them.

The above may seem daunting, and it will take a lot of work on your part. But deciding on what you want to do is super important and worth spending a lot of time on.

Good Luck,

Doug.
