Ken’s Answer

You have asked a very interesting question. I have done college recruiting for mechanical engineers and the most frustrating thing that happened is that they did not like the job when they were hired, because they did not take the time or make the effort to get to know themselves and the career area well enough. Here are some tips on helping to prevent that from happening to you.

Ken recommends the following next steps:

Go to your school's counseling office and arrange to take an interest and aptitude test which will let you know how your personality traits compare with various career areas
When you get the results, go to the person who tracks the graduates of your school and arrange to meet and visit and talk to and shadow those graduates who are doing what you think that you want to do.
