If you weren't an engineer, what would you be? 12

[BrunoPuntzJones]

I've been thinking about this recently. Not because I am unhappy with engineering, but because so many other things also sound so interesting to me.

I'd like to hear from the rest of you. If you had to pick another career, what would you choose?

 

[SomptingGuy]

If I weren't an engineer, I'd be a frustrated engineer earning lots of money doing something dull and antisocial.

You mean another career that actually earns a living?

I always wanted to be an engineer from my earliest days. And everything that I have experienced and what I see happening in the world of technology confirms that my choice of the Mechanical discipline was the right one. I do not and never have wished to be anything else.

The stats say that U students who drop out of engineering but continue are most likely to graduate as economists.

Probably correct - the job is still the mathematical analysis of problems/situations.

I thought I was going to be a raft guide and ski bum forever. Then I got tired of being broke. I chose engineering as an alternate career. But I think being a doctor would be much more interesting. (not to mention the people you would work with are bound to be more interesting than an office full of engineers)

Commercial pilot was my first dream.
Then a cop. Didn't make it.
Fell into engineering.
If I could start over, I would be a surgeon.
