Blog that attitude!

Engineering offers a rewarding and lucrative
career—one in which you can use your mind to find creative solutions to the
challenges facing our society. It’s a well-paid profession, on par with
business management or law. Electrical engineers with bachelor’s degrees start
out earning around $50,000 annually.

In his book Studying Engineering
(Discovery Press, 1995), Raymond Landis, dean of engineering and technology at
California State University–Los Angeles, lists the following "top 10"
rewards and opportunities that an engineering career offers.

1. Job
        Satisfaction

 
Studies show that, by far, the No. 1 cause of unhappiness among people in the

United States

is job dissatisfaction. Thus, it is important to find a career that provides
you with enjoyment and satisfaction. After all, you might spend 40 or so years
working eight hours or more a day, five days a week, 50 weeks a year. Do you
want to dislike every minute of that time, or would you rather do something
that you enjoy? For numerous reasons, some of which are listed below,
engineering provides a satisfying field of work.

2. Variety of Career Opportunities

What do Neil Armstrong, Jimmy Carter, and Alfred Hitchcock have in common?
Though they eventually chose very different careers - one as an astronaut, one
as a president, and one as a filmmaker - they all started with an engineering
education.

An engineering degree offers a wide range of career possibilities. Within the
practice of engineering, there is an enormous variety of job functions.

• If you are imaginative and creative, design engineering may
        be for you.
• If you like laboratories and conducting experiments, you
        might consider test engineering.
• If you like to organize and expedite projects, look into
        being a development engineer.
• If you are persuasive and like working with people,
        consider a career in sales or field service engineering.

The analytical skills and technological
expertise you develop as an engineering student can also be put to use in many
other fields. The majority of today’s college graduates will have more than one
career during their work life, and engineering can provide a strong foundation
for almost any one of them.

3.Challenging Work
In the engineering work world, there is no shortage of challenging problems.
Any engineering manager will tell you that he or she has a huge backlog of
problems that need to be solved. Generally, "real world" engineering
problems are quite different from most of the problems you will solve in
school. In school, most problems have a single, correct answer. When you get
into the engineering work world, virtually all problems will be open-ended.
There will be no single answer, no answer in the back of the book, no professor
to tell you that you are right or wrong. You will be required to devise a
solution and persuade others that your solution is the best one.

1. • ·  4.Intellectual
     Development

     An engineering education will "exercise" your brain, developing your
     ability to think logically and to solve problems. These are skills that will be
     valuable throughout your life—and not only when you are solving engineering
     problems. For example, your problem-solving skills can help you undertake tasks
     such as planning a vacation, finding a job, organizing a fund-raiser,
     purchasing a house, or writing a book.

     · 5.Potential to Benefit
     Society

     Depending upon your value system, you may not view all things that engineers do
     as benefiting people. For example, engineers design military equipment like
     missiles, tanks, bombs, artillery, and fighter airplanes. Engineers are also
     involved in the production of pesticides, cigarettes, liquor, fluorocarbons,
     and asbestos.
     As an engineer, however, you can choose to work on projects that clearly
     benefit society, such as cleaning up the environment, developing prosthetic
     aids for disabled persons, developing clean and efficient transportation
     systems, finding new sources of energy, alleviating the world’s hunger problems,
     and increasing the standard of living in underdeveloped countries.

     · 6.Financial Security

     While financial security should not be your only reason for choosing a career
     in engineering, if you decide to become an engineer you will be well paid. Engineering
     graduates receive the highest starting salary of any discipline.

     · 7.Prestige

     Engineers play a primary role in sustaining our nation’s international
     competitiveness, maintaining our standard of living, ensuring a strong national
     security, and protecting public safety. Furthermore, most people know that
     engineering requires hard work and strong technical skills. As a member of such
     a respected profession, you will receive a high amount of prestige.

     ·  8.Professional
     Environment

     As an engineer, you will work in a professional environment in which you will
     be treated with respect and have a certain amount of freedom in choosing your
     work. You will also be in a position to influence what happens at your company.
     
     You will have the opportunity to learn and grow through both on-the-job
     training and formal training. Often, your immediate supervisor will closely
     mentor you and help you tackle progressively more challenging tasks. You will
     learn from experienced engineers in your organization and will be offered
     seminars and short courses to increase your knowledge. Most likely, your
     employer will have an educational reimbursement program that will pay for you
     to take classes toward a graduate degree or for professional development.

     As a professional, you will receive liberal benefits, which will typically
     include a retirement plan, life insurance, health insurance, sick leave, paid
     vacation, holidays, and savings or profit-sharing plans.

     · 9.Technological and
     Scientific Discovery

     Do you know why golf balls have
     dimples on them? Do you understand how the loads are transmitted to the
     supports on a suspension bridge? Do you know what a laser is or how a computer
     works? When you drive on a mountain road, do you look at the guard rails and
     understand why they were designed the way they were? Do you know why
     split-level houses experience more damage in earthquakes? An engineering
     education can help you understand how these, and many other things in the
     world, work.

     Furthermore, an understanding of technology will provide you with a better
     understanding of many issues facing our society. For example: Why don’t we have
     zero-emission electric vehicles rather than highly polluting cars powered by
     internal combustion engines? Should we have stopped building nuclear reactors?

     What will we
     use for energy when oil runs out? Is it technically feasible to develop a
     "Star Wars" defense system that will protect us against nuclear
     attack? Can we produce enough food to eliminate world hunger? Do high-voltage
     power lines cause cancer in people who live or play near them?

      

   ·  10.Creative Thinking

   Engineering is by its very nature a creative profession. When practicing
   engineers develop solutions to open-ended, real-world problems, they must
   employ conscious and subconscious mental processing as well as divergent and
   convergent thinking.

   Because we are in a time of rapid social and technological changes, the need
   for engineers to think creatively is greater now than ever before. Only through
   creativity can we cope with and adapt to these changes. If you like to
   question, explore, invent, discover, and create, then engineering could be the
   ideal profession for you.

Haha…I came across my tickle account that I registered years ago and never take the time to sign in for such a long time. Due to my absence, the administrator decided to close my account in which I revived in the 11th hour just to check what I’ve done with that account…..and so here goes the several tests that I took last time from answering thier questionnaire: really funny stuff to remember back

       
      
      

This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many
questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to
others.

Your Intellectual Type is Visual Mathematician. This
means you are gifted at spotting patterns — both in pictures and in
numbers. These talents combined with your overall high intelligence
make you good at understanding the big picture, which is why people
trust your instincts and turn to you for direction — especially in the
workplace. And that’s just some of what we know about you from your
test results.  

 
 
 
 

   

   

What’s Your Destiny?

   

Finding Your Purpose in Life

   

   

   
   

   

   
 

       
      
      

Whether you know it or not, this is the role that is most in tune with
who you are at your core. As a Protector, you have an exceptional gift
for guiding and comforting others when no one else is willing or able
because you actually feel their pain as if it were your own. If you
could insulate those you love from all hardship, you would consider
that your greatest accomplishment. You offer caring and thoughtful
advice that helps others heal and move in a positive direction, but you
don’t call attention to yourself, choosing rather to selflessly give to
others in order to make the world a better place. This sense of duty
and exceptional work ethic will get you far in life, however, it can
lead to frustration when you don’t get the appreciation you deserve.
Remember to take care of yourself because if you feel good others will
feel reassured by your steady, prudent, and methodical ways, and the
world really will be a better place!

       
      
      

 
      
       
Your sexual personality is determined by your sexual persona (Omega), 4 sexual scales (Emotional/Physical, Look/Touch, Daring/Modest, Verbal/Non-verbal), and your libido score (9).

As an Omega, you are someone who feels sexy, looks
sexy, and really knows the ropes when it comes to lovemaking. Your sex
appeal is more overt than others and your sexual confidence and
awareness are particularly high.

How do we know this? How do we know that you focus more on the
emotional than the physical connection with your partner while having
sex?

Because while you were taking the test, you answered different kinds of
questions — questions that measured what you’re like in bed as well as
your sex appeal, sexual confidence and sexual awareness.

(hahaha….makes me feel like i’m some kinda pervert with a libido 9!)

       
      
      

This is the area of life that involves being able to trust others
enough to find your ideal romantic partner, make a commitment in your
relationship, and maintain a passionate relationship over time. There
are many variables that can enhance your love feng shui.
One thing you already have going for you is that you don’t have a messy
nightstand overrun with clutter.

While you have some good feng shui, your test answers reveal your energy is most blocked in the area practitioners call 
reputation. Blocked energy in this area of your life can prevent
you from getting credit you deserve, having a good reputation, getting
respect from others, and achieving fame.

(wooohooo……i don’t believe in that! hahahaha)
