[37-40] Well, once I saw that the engineering career was more than … More than finding something … As soon as I saw engineering as more than just sitting down at a computer and running tests over and over again. The more I saw the design aspect it really resonated with me.
[110-112] Also, apparently [Midwestern university] has a 97[%] hiring rate [for] graduating [engineers], so that attracted me to it, because as a performing visual arts person I was always worried that I’d be that starving artist stereotype.
[125-128] I knew I didn’t want to do electrical, because I don’t like circuits very much, but I really agreed with industrials making stuff more efficient, and making improvements onto existing systems […] I’m really in engineering because I like design, so I decided to go for mechanical.
