Why I Quit My Engineering Job 

That's just his investment tho...

@@tungdang6861 its a joke chill

He has Mac he cant truly be an Engineer. Lol

IMO Mac was/is the go-to work computer. Even recently I've seen people exclaim the benefits of Final Cut Pro, when others have had their Windows machines quit in the middle of export.

@@downstream0114 not for engineering applications. Plus a mac cant handle the computational / GPU requirements some engineering applications require for finite element analysis and 3D model component rendering. Windows computers can easily be built to handle these requirements and a lot of them come standard depending on the model.

I will keep them coming :)

I love the problems he presents. One I saw today was vaguely related to a coding problem I'm solving and it gave me a new slant on thinking about it.

I'm in the same exact boat, I'm double-majoring in both EE and ME at a tech college in my state. This channel is my favorite by far.

I'm going to third this!

Does being an EE student have architecture involved because I'm having difficulty in choosing that or an architectural technology.🙇🙇

@@coughdrop650 Not as of where I'm at, but I can attest that through my Mechanical engineering degree I'm going to be sharing classes with Civil engineering students, most notably statics and other classes about structure.

@@fosyay1780 sorry ,i meant to put electronics engineer ( i thought that wut E.E meant till i looked it up) but do you have any ideas if it uses architecture technology ,because im looking up videos n research and mostly seeing building chips.

hi I know it's a late reply but I still wanna ask: how is the master program helping you? are you doing research or course master?

Why’d you go through 4 years of your engineering and 1-2 years of your masters in engineering before you finally felt comfortable with it? Was it pure stubbornness to maintain course of action?

@@VwapTrader I have always been "comfortable" with engineering, but furthering my formal education took me to a much higher level. The patent I just submitted solved a physical problem that can be modeled as an infinite number of coupled differential equations with an infinite number of parasitic poles. I compensated the circuit with an infinite number of parasitic zeros. Solving the model involved complex nodal analysis, and implementing a physical solution involved building an FEA model. I would not have solved this with only the BSEE. The Master's degree gave me a lot of new tools to work with.

@@VwapTrader I'd say by the time you start your Master's, you've gotten used to working hard and having fun with it, too. If, for some reason, you still don't like what you're doing by then, you could choose some classes having to do with the other engineering majors. Chances are, if you like maths and physics, you're bound to find something to like. That's why you should always try to choose the broadest majors (ME, EE, IE) to have at least some idea of what most majors do and don't do. Internships are also a must. If you don't like the actual work your major has then that's a sign you should consider another engineering field. The sooner you get a picture for what sort of things you like, the more success you'll have in your career.

Yeah, engineered truth says "Why engineering sucks and you should quit your job and instead sell online courses!"

Is it engineered truth or matt tran the person who has newtons second law tattod but said its newtons first law 😂😂😂

His private life is his. He has no obligation to share this information with us

I think I'm going to do a video about this soon actually. I'm happy to share my experience.

@@zachstar Well in that case, i welcome the opportunity to learn more about you and the various experiences which have shaped you into the person you are today

MajorPrep where did you go to school?

Same! I've had people ask me why I didn't just start tutoring full time right out of high school and my response is I had no way of knowing everything that was going to happen after graduating. Don't want to tutor forever or anything but right now it's providing me a little more freedom which does keep me happier.

Being happy at what you do is more important than all of the money in this world given to you.

I gor an associate in chemistry and my bachelors in biology, how can I get in to tutoring for more money.

​@@superbros1690 if you're from a well off family yeah, if not, happyness should come from providing for your family

I'm on the same path. It's not easy when there aren't jobs out there.

I'm with ya my friend. Frequently skipped my morning classes and was doing homework at midnight and later all the time.

@@livethefuture2492 Or learn Russian and Chinese and apply to a different set of companies?

I often get flack for working at 3AM.

Its that most of want to be musk or gates like, and end up working plc or chio development or sthing "meaningless". No i studied maths and physics for 10 years of my life to do sthing cool and new, not go to work and check sistems

Honestly that's a good question because that never came up. I was considering using my time off but my boss suggested I don't. We actually first looked for other jobs in the company but there wasn't much available.

MajorPrep btw which company did you work for?..Lockheed martin?..or is it Boeing space?.. Cause these two are definitely tech giants in those fields

@@farhannoor3935 Most likely Northrop Grumman in Redondo Beach if he says he was working in the space sector.

Like he said the security clearance was taking months

Oh boy I can't imagine what that must be like for someone like me who's not even a US citizen. Well guess I can't do aerospace engineering.

Yeah I can definitely agree and I didn't quit immediately or anything, I spent several months doing that less meaningful work because I wanted to wait it out. But just reached a point where I thought maybe a switch was going to be more beneficial (I had initially planned to get another engineering job). Not saying it's the right mindset but was just telling the story.

@@zachstar -- Fair.

Dude did you watch the video ? He said he waited it out before quitting

No Body what the fuck

Definitely thumbs-up on that comment Mark! Have a great !

Yeah...that guy is such a hack.

@@inorite4553 I hate him

Up untill 4:13, all I heard was "work is hard. You should quit work. Make a career as a RU-vid or or professional video gamer. Work is hard. " Enjoy dying alone

@@tenaciousb4731 :: Are you insane? I’m losing my mind during this pandemic too

It means you're watching this video at 2:30 in the morning.

I will!

Aimless

For real tho

Not everything is about pay. Fulfillment and satisfaction with what you're doing are important.

Engineering is not a science

Science and engineering are different things. Engineers use scientific knowledge, in which it helps solve a problem. I am an engineer.

Charlie Zelenoff Engineering is the application of science but not a science itself. Pure science has an unfortunate tendency to produce unworkable or untestable theories which are great in a textbook but not in real life. Hence my comment.

@@davelowe1977 - _-

Engineering isn't a science. It's applying the science and math to solve problems and create things we use everyday

Boeing ?

Lockheed?

Raytheon?

He probably sucked

Not really. I had taken one class that required matlab for every single lab but beyond that one class I wasn't too experienced.

Matthew De Sieno If I am correct, you do need to be a US citizen to work in the aerospace industry, even for non defense projects because of ITAR restrictions? I am currently in the process of choosing a major and was questioning whether I would actually be able to pursue aerospace engineering as I am not a citizen. Should I try for a different discipline right now and later on if my visas work out I can try to work in a company like spacex?

@Dr Deuteron wow, that's good you were able to get a green card, how long did it take?

@@livethefuture2492 I'd be careful with the experience you get. Sometimes it may not necessarily align with what you want in the long run, and switching paths down the road can be a bit difficult. Not saying it'll be impossible, but it may entail a cut in pay, or you doing the same thing you are familiar with. Did you look into SpaceX and see what you're interested in doing? For example, if you want to work on, let's say aerodynamics of a certain part, then I'd probably try to get experience in aerodynamics somewhere in another company. That way you can leverage that experience down the road when your visa papers are worked out.

That guy shits over all engineering majors and jobs except when it comes to computers.

It's basically a background check that grants you access to certain government projects that are classified.

@@zachstar how much time does it normally take to get one?

@@naveensundar4765 If you are newly graduated and don't have anything strange in your background then a few months. If you're much older and have lived in a lot of different places or have some complicated background then it can be upwards of a year.

What are you doing now Sir?

😎👍

Did you watch the whole video? He was no longer doing engineering work, just manual labor.

I would recommend doing 2 masters instead of one PhD (It takes similar time) unless the PhD subject area is something you are completely obsessed with as well as offering employment options. If you want to work in academia (Which in many ways is all the work of being self employed with all the payback of working for a salary), a PhD is useful, but a masters will get you out and earning better in industry much more quickly.

@@peglor is Robotics a good PhD. Program.

I probably would like to get a PhD in Applied math. I loved engineering but I think research related to real world systems or phenomena from a math perspective would be what I find most interesting. Even engineering applications like AI or fluid dynamics interest me but it's research that applied mathematicians do in those fields that peaks my curiosity the most. Also I realized throughout college that very often I assume I'll like something but then I change my mind once I try it. For example I really thought I was going to do power engineering until I took my first power class, then I realized it wasn't for me as much. I didn't see myself going into the RF concentration either until I actually took a course on it... so yeah, things just change. I have an idea of the direction I want to go but as for the real specifics I'm going to be more open minded so I can explore what I enjoy the most.

@@vincentcheatham1844 with the right research group robotics should be a great option. One critical rule to looking for somewhere to do a PhD is to go to a group that's already internationally recognised as world class in the area you want to research. I went into my PhD not knowing this, so I ended up having to design and build the equipment to get the group to the point where they could do the experiments in the first place before I could do anything publishable. This put me literally years behind other students in the same area working with more established groups before I'd even started. This was in the area of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. I completely changed to mechanical and thermal design of photonic packaging design in a different university after doing a few years of postdoctoral work/lecturing and it was a night and day difference. Nobody was interested in what was being done in my old job while the JPL, European Space Agency, just about every big biomedical company and more were looking for us to do work for them. You're going to spend years at a PhD regardless of where you go, so a group that's already world class will allow you to hit the ground running. Incidentally to move closer to home, I moved to industry, in the heavy engineering area, in the last 2 years and found that with a PhD it can be very difficult to even get to interviews because you tend to be overqualified academically for every job while underqualified in the 'we want it yesterday' type deadlines industry work to, so for many employers a PhD is a liability. If you find an area you like and do a masters in it you can be back in the workforce in less than 2 years with a very relevant qualification for the jobs you're looking for. If you want to do something else then doing another masters in the new area will allow you to change career direction more easily.

Engineered Truth, Major Prep, Jake Voorhees even BeatTheBush. There's something rotten in the state of American engineering.

This world and investors will ignor you without a degree.. ...this planet is run by aliens that only care about degrees and fancy names

?

Contact me

How about no.

The thing that those companies liked the most on my resume was the fact that my senior project was one funded by one of the large defense companies (it was a UAV sense and avoid system). The fact that I had experience with that really helped I think because it was the main talking point in most of the interviews that I had. So whether it be a project or internship related to the defense industry, I think that's really helpful.

MajorPrep that sounds awesome thanks for the advice!

Mine too

Good luck with that lmao

@@onealthefamilyman4930 Don't be jealous. You'll get your $1000 Yang bucks too. #YangGang

Idk if you will b able to live off of that but we yangin

Get a scholarship lmao

@@thedarkfrost2351 yea, it's easy to get a 80k scholarship...

Which company?

I got a job as an assembly guy before going to College, that was when I realised I dont want to go into engineering, too many managers, you have to wake up every morning, in snow, in rain, no matter what you have to wake up in the morning and go there 9-5. I hated being there every single day, so I left and went to College to study Biomedical Sciences and Chemistry.

@@AfroMedic Bro that's literally almost every job, unless you become your own boss.

He said in an earlier video he's an RF (Radio Frequency) Engineer

Electrical, concentrated in RF/communications

I wouldn’t do one for engineering, its for academics and engineering isnt hugely acedemic.

just kidding ;)

@@ViewTube_Emperor_of_Mankind Really, because all I saw was a whinging millenial.
