David C’s Answer

You need first to determine what field of engineering you feel you will enjoy as a career. If money is the primary thing you are interested in regardless of what field of engineering it is, then Petroleum and Computer Science Engineering paid the most in 2022 in the USA. There are excellent schools to choose from once to narrow down to the field of engineering that interests you.

A word of caution would be not to allow money to be the main reason for your choice. If you end up not liking the career choice you've made, you may then come to regret it and go into something else not related to your schooling meaning the cost of the schooling will be mostly lost. Many have fallen into that area. So choose wisely on various reasons such as interest, long term commitment, continued need for that skill or career in the future, and money, (in that order).

Archived’s Answer

You ask a very general question. There are easily 100s of different engineering courses. Each type of engineering has many component parts. To get an idea of the expansiveness of engineering have a look at the book "McGraw-Hill Concise Encyclopedia of Engineering".

Dennis’s Answer

Hello Alyssa, I like the second part of your question..."to know more than I know now.." That should always be our goal, regardless what field of engineering we might choose. In my case, I earned a degree in mechanical engineering, but as my career progressed, I got involved more in computers and programming along with some electronics, etc. Many engineering courses involve "learning how to learn." That is why you will have courses that include a laboratory component. While doing an experiment, you may have to adapt, modify or adjust some part of the experiment. Or, some random effect makes the outcome of your experiment somewhat different than what your fellow classmates experience. Learn from that.
When you start working on a project as part of your job, there may be something that fails. Failure is good; you want to learn from failures. You don't want that failure to end up in production or in a customer's hands. Don't give up. Analyze what went wrong and why. Figure out what needs to be changed so it won't be the cause of failure the next time.
Regardless what courses you take, Alyssa, I hope you will find them interesting, challenging and rewarding. Good Luck!
