<p>If you could work for any engineering company or in any country that the company operates in then what would your choice be?</p>
<p>If you want to add in what type of engineering you would do for the company and what type of position you would have then that is also acceptable.</p>
<p>Either Apple or Google, because they take care of their employees as long as they (the workers) fulfill their part of the contract too. Preferably in either’s California location, because I like the weather 
Oh, and I’m an EE, probably focusing in embedded systems.</p>
<p>I’d like to work for Lockheed Martin in California designing predator drones.</p>
<p>I’d like to own my own business and work where the greatest need (demand) for my services exists. I will probably be forced to work for a company, but I’d rather avoid doing so.</p>
<p>I’m currently a CpE student and I am definitely interested in working for Microsoft or pursue software engineering in a company like Bloomberg</p>
<p>^That’s the problem with engineers, and most professionals, today. Many of us are only focused on gaining employment with an established corporation instead of teaming up with other engineers and starting small businesses. Then we complain about “evil” corporations.</p>
<p>I want to eventually start my own Geothermal energy company but thats probably not gonna happen so instead I would like to work on Oil/Natural Gas Exploration projects for ExxonMobil in Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan.</p>
<p>Starting your own geothermal company from the ground up may be almost impossible but an easier, more common-sense approach would be to provide products or services that current geothermal companies may use.</p>
<p>Starting our own two-person firm was the best thing DH and I have done. We’re our own bosses and can run things the way we want to! We can also take off without having to ask permission. It’s crazy sometimes, but we hope we never have to work for anyone else again.</p>
<p>Haha sorry Enginox, since the economic downturn I’m just simply going to look for stable employment after i graduate so I can pay down my debt and help my parents out.</p>
<p>Predator drones aren’t made by Lockheed. They are made by General Atomics.</p>
<p>Ideally I would love to work as a professor of aerospace engineering. My first choice would eventually probably e at UIUC.</p>
<p>NASA Langley would be a close second doing high speed experimental aerodynamics.</p>
<p>“Many of us are only focused on gaining employment with an established corporation instead of teaming up with other engineers and starting small businesses.”</p>
<p>Most start up businesses fail. Not to mention someone right out of school lacks the expertise or money to start a business.</p>
<p>^ That is what venture capitalists are for. You don’t need a ton of experience, only enough to convince them to fund you.</p>
<p>If I had decided I wanted a job as a civil engineer instead of as a construction manager, I would’ve for any of the major structural engineering firms with an office in NYC. Thornton Tomasetti, Cantor Seinuk, and ARUP would be the main ones I’d focus on.</p>
<p>I’d like to work as an Electrical Engineer in Rhodesia.</p>

<p>My bad. You think I can buy one online from them? I sure would like a way to spy on my neighbors… maybe even teach them a lesson the next time their car alarm goes off at 2 AM and they take 20 minutes to shut it…</p>
<p>I do see the benefits of running your own company. I have experienced being an independent consultant and while I liked it and it paid very well, I did not like the uncertainty.</p>
<p>Having bosses is not that bad when you have an in-demand skill. It’s not like your bosses are really going to treat you bad…because they know you can e-mail your resume and be on another payroll the next day.</p>

<p>[explosion] “Quadruple kill!”
[radio] Predator drone missile launched. Coordinates… neighbor’s driveway.</p>
<p>I need to stop playing Call of Duty… 2nd week of classes already… D:</p>
<p>GT, as structural engineers we found that there was more uncertainty working for other companies. If they unexpectedly lost a big project, they didn’t bat an eye at laying people off. One company laid the entire design division off in one day (including both DH and me; fortunately, we didn’t have kids yet). Another gave DH a big bonus and then laid him off out of the blue in March, when business dropped off, 5 days before our second child was born. With our low overhead, we can survive fine for quite awhile.</p>
<p>Wherever pays the most after taxes, I can work there.</p>
