What kind of an engineer would supervise and direct projects such as bridge building, road building, building towers, building windmillls in the sea, and by direct these, I mean that this engineer would be present at the site during the entire construction process and be outdoors the whole time with the construction workers. Would a mechanical, civil engineer do this type of work?

Are they laborers? Or do they just supervise for safety and productivity? For example, a field engineer for Schlumberger or Halliburton. Besides working in bad weather conditions and having working hours such as 7 pm to 7 am, what other details should I know about this job? I guess my real question is, does it lean towards blue or white collar?

I'm a freshman in Community College trying to get my degree in mechanical engineering. I'm planning on transfering to a University in 2 years, but I want to know what field of engineerig is in high demand? I don't want to graduate from college and have a hard time looking for a job. I'm into math, science and physics so I don't really mind if I have to switch majors. Also what is a REALLY good University for Engineering students?

I feel like I really want to be a manager in marketing, but i don't know what degrees to get and how to get there. I'm planning on going to community college for 2 years then transferring, and getting my b.s. in philosophy. I would then get a MBA in marketing. Is this a good path or are there better.

MSOE (Milwaukee School Of Engineering) sounds like a very good school for Engineering , I’m planning to transfer there for junior and senior years , I’m interested Electrical Engineering field . I was researching MSOE and realized they have bachelors degree in EE and EET , I would like to know from somebody who knows the difference between the two ? After all those are both BS degrees . And please I don’t want to see guesses , only somebody who knows.

There is so many opinions out there about what the difference is between these two and which one has more oppurtunities and so on. I would love to know what the most direct difference is between these two fields, they seem so similar. Obviously the name Operations Manager hints at managing, but to me it seems like it is a more business-like approach to industrial engineering.

The marketing manager isn't doing the selling alone- with him is a sales rep and a sales manager and the 3 of us share of goal that this industrial machinery company (the people who would show include the buyer, jr engineer and production manager) will buy our software. So what does marketing manager do specifically in this kind of situation? Thanks a million!

I was looking into going to graduate school for Petroleum Engineering after completing my undergrad degree in Civil Engineering but I've heard that you really don't need a Master's in PE to work as a Petroleum Engineer. Is that true? I would think so if you already hold an Bachelor's in PE, but what about people who are CE, ME, ChemE, EE etc? Can someone offer some insight? Thanks.

Hey, I'm 21 yrs old and am looking to applying at a bank, preferably Wells Fargo but not necessarily, for the position of bank teller. I have about 3yrs of experience in the customeer service field. Aside from being a fast learner and self-starter, I am very detail-oriented and organized. I can comfortably say that my strongest subject in school has always been math. Currently I am attending college as a part-time student, majoring in Architectural Engineering. I really want a job as a bank teller. I believe this job would be great for me as far as the personal skills I posses. Some questions I have are, How do I apply to any bank for a teller position? As far as benefits go, what can I expect from my employer? Any other relevant information or tips would be greatly appreciated. I have spent my last 3 yrs working in an office environment, and after recently leaving my CSR job at Farmers Insurance for a cashier position at a gas station (worst mistake ever!), I have realized an office job is what I desire. Thanks for all your help!
