<p>I speak 3 languages and when it comes to math work Im a hard worker as been told by my faculty. I want to do beyond a mathematics degree and do engineering where the future is. What is a good engineering major/job that that easy,moderate, not too hard so I can get a comfortable sleep unlike computer engineers,recession proof, good employment opportunistic, where I can work outside more. Or should I stick with the Math. With a bachelors in math there is limited versus engineer Im I right or wrong. I am in my second year of college. Im into Computer Science course and Pre-Calc.</p>
<p>Petroleum pays very well and is in high demand even after a bachelor’s, but I can’t really say much about the difficulty.</p>
<p>You could also consider computer science, software engineering, or electrical engineering, which is where I think more mathematics is applicable, since I can see that’s your thing. Those fields also have good demand, but you should have luck with basically any engineering degree (except civil and architecture…)</p>
<p>What do you know about industrial engineers? Petroleum engineer I have a problem with due to the health risk associated with it. I also wanted to ask which engineer job/major can get you to work in a different country?</p>
<p>I hate computer science and software engineer all they do is sit on their computer all day. Thats not what I want to do.</p>
<p>So you want to get something that pays well and involves field work with little effort that is guaranteed to be useful in the future?
Good luck, that’s almost impossible. You can have most, but not all of those for any given engineering major.
That being said, there’s a few that I think you’d like. Can you be a bit more specific with what you want to do?</p>

<p>“I hate computer science and software engineer all they do is sit on their computer all day. Thats not what I want to do.”</p>
<p>It’s my understanding that the plurality of engineering jobs will spend most of their time on a computer, in almost any field. Not that this an an argument for doing it then, but just a reminder that you will have to really keep your head up to avoid that, because I don’t think many engineers are Indiana Jones or Richard-Feynman-meets-meets-auto-mechanic, as a lot of people seem to be hoping. Not that I have any real clue, but still…</p>
<p>This look more inspiring to me [Industrial</a> and Systems Engineers Make a Difference Everywhere - YouTube](<a href=“Industrial and Systems Engineers Make a Difference Everywhere - YouTube”>Industrial and Systems Engineers Make a Difference Everywhere - YouTube). That guy has an awesome job at Disney World. I have family that is in the administrative seat at Disney World. The Video said that every hospital will need a Industrial Engineer I have family that works in the healthcare industry. Interesting. Food production and NASA looks interesting.</p>
<p>Industrial and Systems Engineers are among the most successful engineering professionals because they rely on a combination of technical depth and business fundamentals. ISEs are people who get excited about solving problems - and find the quickest, fastest and best way to meet important objectives. They apply their knowledge and skills to define and improve systems - of people, machines, materials, and energy. There is a great demand for ISE professionals in the United States and internationally, with US starting salaries in 2010 between $55,000 and $65,000.</p>
<p>ISEs discuss their work, the satisfaction they experience from their jobs, and the impact they make in the world. ISEs are employed in a wide range of industries such as defense, healthcare, consumer products, financial services, logistics, transportation, energy, entertainment, aviation, manufacturing of all types, and many more. Any industry or enterprise involving complex decisions and scarce resources recruits Industrial and Systems Engineers. </p>
<p>Seems really interesting. I dont know how I can pay for this program at University Level. I will not ask mommy and daddy for money.</p>
<p>I don’t think “plurality” makes a lot of sense there. There are ony two options so a plurality literally cannot exist unless you think a substantial number of engineers spend exactly the same amount of time at a computer and not at a computer.</p>
<p>You are right. I was thinking of like lab jobs, factory jobs, etc., but only phrased it as desk job or not desk job. So, while there are a few options, I get the impression that the most common is sitting at a computer most of the time.</p>
<p>I dont want job where my ass is on the computer all day like my software engineer all day sitting in the library working with a team with himself and some other guy to finish where he started in Germany for a company called Accenture. Depressing job hes plugged in like the Matrix movie.</p>
<p>Well, I think a lot of jobs require you to sit at the computer most of the day. You might consider becoming a surveyor or construction manager.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Industrial engineering is very broad and a lot of majors will end up sitting in front of a computer all day.</p>
<p>What do you mean by broad? I wanted to touch on the math thing to. I think math is really narrow when it comes to opportunities. I think by broad you mean long or extended amounts of opportunities?</p>
<p>It’s pretty simple. Almost all engineering fields will require the engineer to spend time in front of a computer. Computers are essential in the process of engineering due to the speed and variety of the calculations they can perform. Sure, some fields will have the engineer moving more than others i.e. civil engineers will do more field work than a computer engineer.</p>
<p>Also, math doesn’t narrow down the spectrum much, if at all. You can’t tell me that math isn’t used in civil, mechanical, computer, electrical, aerospace, petroleum, or any variation of these engineering fields. </p>
<p>It sounds to me like you’re looking for all engineering fields but none of them at the same time.</p>
<p>The last question I have is that I will be in school longer if I pursue Industrial Engineer then a Mathematics major. How would I pay for this program if I cant afford it and I dont want my parents to pay. How do I pull up that $ when college should be almost free. At age 23 is it too late for me? Do you have any friends that got a bachelors in math and started working, I dont think many math majors get jobs after bachelors unless they teach which is an extra two years.</p>
<p>I think it’s a little too soon to conclude that you’d be successful in a math major. You’re in pre-calculus, correct?</p>
<p>I’m 26, started this summer with algebra. What is “too late?” I plan to be in school until I’m 35, give or take. Your options are job you don’t like forever or feeling old for a few years and then job you want? The option seems obvious to me, but it’s clearly a personal decision. </p>
<p>You can take out loans, and depending on where you live, there are all different aid and scholarship options.</p>
<p>Yes and Computer science.Ill be fine.</p>
<p>Right now its between mathematics and industrial engineering. My goal with Mathematics is to get my BA in mathematics then go into trading,insurance or finance then go for a masters in financial engineering and work for Goldman Sachs. Is it possible to finish with a BA and math and masters in Industrial Engineering can I make that leap?</p>
