I only went into engineering for the money.

My friend actually thought about engineering, and then decided to follow his passion, art. He just did it in a way that impressed me. Internship, coop, working on skills he could use in the market as opposed to just making pictures.

I was the opposite. I went to chemical engineering because I wanted something challenging, loved chemistry, and had enough mechanical skills to be dangerous. When I got to my freshmen orientation, I was surprised to hear Chem E has the highest starting salary. Money isn't why I became and engineer, I became an engineer because that is where God lead me.

Money isn't why I became and engineer, I became an engineer because that is where God lead me.

That's the only reason to do anything.

That's what I tell my nephews. We have things backwards. It's not what I want to do. It's what God wants me to do.
