After going to college is it hard to find a great engineering job that pays well? and are they stable jobs?

I was wondering were the jobs for engineering anything like construction jobs. I ask this because I heard construction jobs are not stable jobs and you could get fired if the sight was closed down. I also wanted to know were engineers well needed jobs in the world because I don't want to study something and then not be able to find a great paying job. #architect #mechanical-engineer #architectural

Hi there!


Engineering is a fantastic career option. It sounds like you might want to be a civil engineer given your interest in construction. But, there are many other types of engineers as well (mechanical, biological, chemical, electrical, software, etc).


The one nice thing about engineering is that it usually leads to a stable, well-paying job right after college. You generally don't need an advanced degree (like a masters degree or PhD). Engineers are extremely sought after because we don't have enough of them, so it's a good career choice!

Jordan’s Answer

Engineering is a great profession that pays very well (especially right now 2022) out of college. They are very stable as compared to other areas of expertise, and are usually in high demand. The ceiling for Engineer jobs is more predictable than one of a business degree (or MBA), but there are certain avenues that an Engineering degree can be the base layer, then expand to something new and different. I know many Managers and Directors who have an Engineering degree, plus others who migrated more into the Business world and their Engineering degree helped them get there. So the ceiling may be low(er) and more predictable to just baseline Engineering careers, but there are many different avenues one can take.
