Hello, i am an engineer major and about to graduate with a BS. i was wondering how it would work if after i graduated if i wanted to go back to the same school to pursue another BS in another engineering field. or if i went to another university. i know financial aid will be none at all. i would i appreciate any info or past experiences. thank you
Rarely would a school issue you a 2nd Bachelors. Plus, you’ll kill your resume. Any future employer will seriously question why you’re not employable and simply went back for more schooling. That’s a TERRIBLE idea.
Buckle down and get yourself into the work force. These initial years are very important. It’s scary going out into the real world but really, don’t allow yourself any other option.
I’d have to agree. Get out and work. Find a company that will pay for your Master’s degree (which can be in something besides engineering).
What type of Engineering did you study? What type do you want to now study?
Why don’t you like the first type?
There may be jobs where you can do some of both.
Also you might want to go for a Master’s instead.
I am not sure if you can get a second bachelors in teh same area…for example at Rutgers

"A Second Degree Student at the New Brunswick - School of Arts & Sciences (SAS) is someone who has earned a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university and is now willing to commit time and energy to complete a new BA or BS in an entirely different major area.
A second degree is sometimes not a valued credential. Consider that, unlike advanced degrees, the Bachelor’s degree is awarded for a body of general knowledge (120 credits, including completion of a major, in some cases a minor, a prescribed set of general education requirements, and electives). It is redundant in a sense to earn another degree at the same level of study. Furthermore, pursuit of additional matriculated undergraduate study can be interpreted by others as the student not willing to take on the challenge of graduate school. In other words, if you have the preparation to move on to graduate level work, you should."
