Hi, I'm looking for some IDEAS on matching my interests to industry.
My dream job is to design - with a primary emphasis on aesthetics.
I enjoy sketching and would draw cars in my spare time whilst at school and university.
I have considered studying another degree in industrial design or architecture.
Until now I have been researching the many facets of engineering and have found I hold a great interest for industrial design, because:
+ I enjoy making things look good, on paper or in 3D using my hands.
+ I want to help people
+ I want to improve our surroundings functionally and aesthetically
Background:
I am a Mechanical Engineering Bachelors graduate in the United Kingdom.
I have two years post-grad industry experience - project engineering for the waste-water industry and mechanical engineering (metalwork design) for the defence industry.
Options:
Taking into consideration current economic conditions and a desire to earn a living I choose to forge a career in mechanical design.
I believe that I need a technically chanllenging role with scope to utilise my aesthetic design skill.
I am applying for mechanical design engineer positions at a junior/graduate level with intent to build my expertise long-term, contributing to the environmental and medical industries.
So I guess the Q I need to ask is should I return to study a degree in design
OR
can I make a transition career path that will enable me to provide aesthetic design services.
Many thanks,
D
