Is Engineering Good for a Government Job?

Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>I plan on majoring in mechanical engineering and was wondering if this is a bad major for a government job like the CIA, FBI, etc. Will I not be considered if I have this as my major? I am only a high school senior so I have a lot of time. And I'm referring to my major only so pretend as if other variables don't come into play here, I realize they do though.</p>

<p>the question I would ask yourself is “what do I want to do?” and then choose a degree accordingly. If you don’t want an engineering job, you probably don’t want to major in it.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that CIA and the rest of the IC have programs for undergraduates. You should look into them if you want to work somewhere like that.</p>

<p>I am leaning towards a government job but I’m not opposed to an engineering job, also a mechanical engineering degree can be used for a lot of things.</p>
