It explains how engineering careers truly work—across education, licensure, company choice, specialization, income growth, and long-term relevance in an AI-dominated world.Rather than promoting a single “best” path, the book provides clear frameworks and decision tools to help readers choose durable, credible, and sustainable engineering careers.What This Book CoversWhat engineering really is—and how it differs from science, trades, and software rolesHow engineering careers progress in the real world (not on paper)College choices explained clearly: Ivy League, top-tier, public universities, and ROITraditional and nontraditional education paths, including community college, trades, IT, and military transitionsHow to choose the right first job, company, and industryThe FE, EIT, and PE licensure pathway—and why it matters long termCertifications, continuing education, and professional credibilityWhich engineering fields are least affected by AI and automationFuture-proof skills that compound over timeIncome, stability, work-life balance, and long-term planningCommon career mistakes engineers make—and how to avoid themBest engineering fields by decade outlookSample career roadmaps from student to senior professionalPractical appendices with charts, checklists, worksheets, and infographicsWhat Makes This Book DifferentThis is not a motivational book.
