PART I: CAREER CHOICE An engineer is someone who sees something in the world and sets out to make it better. I’m an engineer and always have been, but I would enjoy getting paid for it. I would like to be a Manufacturing Engineer. Manufacturing Engineers are in charge of making things in a plant. They decide the best and most efficient ways to get the job done. As businesses try to make products better and at less cost, it turns to manufacturing engineers to find out how. Manufacturing engineers work with all aspects of manufacturing from production control to materials handling to automation. The assembly line is the domain of the manufacturing engineer. This job is for me because it involves a lot of thinking and hands-on problem solving which I would enjoy more than deskwork. Job openings for engineering are endless, but at the same time the best jobs are almost impossible to get. Everyone joining the workforce wants the big money and since most engineering graduates paid a lot of money for school they expect to be treated to a 6 figure starting wage. Many of the plants in western New York have closed down but there are plenty of jobs here in Buffalo to make finding one pretty easy. Detroit has a lot of auto manufacturing plants and steel plants. The demand for a good manufacturing engineer to keep the plants moving in the right direction is very high there as in most port cities around the world. New York City is also looking for a lot of manufacturing engineers work with all aspects of manufacturing from production control to materials handling to automation. The assembly line is the domain of the manufacturing engineers. Conditions in a factory are hazardous at times but being an engineer the hard hats would be only precautionary. For the most part they like to keep the brains of the operation out of harms way as much as possible. Depending on the plant and what the engineer is doing that day depend on whether his job is hazardous. Some manufacturing engineers spend most of their time behind a desk but that isn’t for me. I would want to be right on the floor so as to see just how everything is going and what can be done to improve production safety, time management, waste management, and worker fatigue. Engineering is not a career to enter in hopes of becoming famous, rich maybe, but never famous. Some people did get famous for engineering though and other were famous and just happened to be engineers before hitting it big.
