- Hey scotty, i will soon be graduating and i dont know what kind of field or degree ill need to work with cars, i want to work in a car manufacture, what field should i in invest and earn a degree in , mechanical engineering or normal automotive technician?
@abel
Unfortunately there is only one Scotty and hundreds of thousands of comments. Its probably he will never see your question to answer it directly but you never know with Scotty !!
Do you have an idea about what area of manufacturing you're interested in? There's a few.
- Mechanical engineering
- industrial design.
- Electrical engineering (Electric cars will gain momentum)
- industrial controls and automation
Maybe go for a tour of an auto plant and talk to the people there to get some 1st hand input.
@mountainmanjoe
most likely between mechanical engineering and industrial design but i really cant decide
I would say go for design. I think the engineering is going to be outsourced more and more to developing countries, and sold to the lowest bidder. Design is more likely to remain "in-house".
On the other hand, maybe you live in a developing country, in which case engineering might be an excellent option!
@mountainmanjoe
thank you!
Don't take this the wrong way, but I think this forum is the wrong place to ask that question.
I doubt that any responder or moderator in any car repair forum is qualified to act as a career guidance person.
I encourage you to speak with a career guidance professional, who can evaluate your academic strengths, personal wants and interests, and then help you outline and possibly determine what fields of endeavor your strengths could be best applied.
Sorry
