RRJ#4

Summary:
This article talks about a survey of salaries and bachelor's degrees. The result shows that the engineering makes up 80% of the most highly paid degrees. The petroleum engineering was the best paying degree, after petroleum engineering came the chemical engineering then the mining and mineral engineering. Also the survey result shows the height between the engineering salaries. Also the survey said the engineering better than the business majors and accounting majors. Finally, the survey result shows the liberal arts majors had the lowest level compared before one year.

Reaction:
In my opinion I really agree with the results. Therefore, I consider the engineering careers the best careers after the medical careers. Also I consider the engineering majors the best majors directly after the medical majors. And I am really interested about the heighten between the engineering salaries, and how just in one year or only six months comes a great difference between the engineering majors salaries.

Summary:
The article talks about the pros and cons of working in the electrical engineering field. The truth behind electrical engineering is that there are many advantages and disadvantages if you are thinking about going to work in the electrical engineering field, and there are many thins that you should keep in mind. First, you should understand the electrical engineering job really will satisfy you. Most people in the field would recommend it to their friends and children because many people like the companies that they work for. Also there might be drawbacks in electrical engineering, because we are looking at a career that changes regular basis and the knowledge in this career is very important, because if you are out of the knowledge data you might lose you job. Also you should keep in mind that, if you are going to be an electrical engineer, there is usually a long period of study that can ideally include an apprenticeship.

Reaction:
Indeed, the faults or the drawbacks are in every career, not just in engineering careers or in electrical engineering. I think engineering careers satisfy most people, because there is a huge number of people entering or going into the engineering careers. Therefor, many people recommend this careers to their friends and children. As knowledge, I think our world improving and moving forward, so sometimes we are really Forced to take out some people from their position, and I think this is very rare. Also I believe that in every career there is should be a period for studying before going into this career and working, but if you really want to be an engineer, you will not care about the period of studying if it is long or short, because your goal is to become an engineer.

Summary:
This article simply talks about engineering jobs, especially for electrical engineering. First of all, the article explains that engineers’ jobs are everywhere, but in the beginning engineering careers are very hard. And that requires an education. And the education at least takes four to five years. And during these years you must struggle to move forward and be in the best situation after school and education. Also it talks about the work and what is your available selection, and where you are going to work. Most of the electrical engineering work is for companies, and that provides you with many good things, such as the benefit and the salary. But on the other side there are undesirable things, such as the repetition, and you maybe will not be in the way or situation that you like or wish to be.

Reaction:
Indeed the article gave correct information about engineering. I really agree with the article. Getting started in an engineering career is very hard and this is also what the article said, and I completely agree with that and not only in the beginning in the engineering careers is very hard, in my opinion, in the beginning in everything is very hard. Also engineering school takes at least four to five years, and you really must struggle and work hard in classes to move forward. Also about getting the jobs, I really agree with the article, most engineers work is for companies. But some of them complete higher education.

RRJ#1

Summary:
The article talks about the civil design engineer salary. People who do the engineering jobs and have enough information about construction (public) play a very important role in this type of business. Engineering careers require a bachelor's degree in engineering for almost all entry-level engineering jobs. Also college graduates may qualify for some jobs in engineering. On average, a civil engineer earns $62,000. Engineering employment is in great demand globally and there is always a need for engineers for as long as there are people to build houses for.

Reaction:
In my opinion, I really agree with the author. The engineering careers are in great demand globally. And I consider the engineering careers one of jobs in most demand jobs in the world, even if not the highest demand careers in the world. Also the Civil engineer and the electrical engineer are very serious jobs. As for the engineering salary, they are absolutely earning a lot of money,such as the civil engineer, who earn $62,000.
