In the uk there are actually graduate level apprenticeships where you work and gain a degree however the engineering ones are sparse it’s mostly computer science :/
@@blackoutemzz2674 that’s great man, I’m applying for the University of Glasgow in the next couple years after college studying mechanical. Good luck with your course 🤞
Show up a little early, stay later than the norm. Ask a lot of questions that most young people would not. Things directed towards your supervisor/boss like, "what does the ideal engineer here operate like?", "what more could I have done here?", "how can I be better?", etc. Ask for more opportunity. Ask for more responsibility.
I dont think many people understand the concept of creating value. A lot of people dont see value when it hits them in the face, they just follow the consensus. But also, creating value is relative to how easy it is for other to create the same value. If someone without an engineering degree can do something for super cheap, the value decreases. In order to create value, you then need to take ambitious personalized projects, that speaks for itself in a way. Take a big stone, its big but it doesnt cost anything. Carve it and put a lil bit of prose on it, it's a monument.
