So what are the chances of a 33-year old with no experience getting a job as an engineer, eh? Granted, I could take a few years for schooling, but jeepers, I don't have the money for that!

 

You'd be surprised. You couldn't get a job as an "engineer" per se, without a degree, but you could definitely do engineering work as a technician or designer/draftsman. A lot of the fun is in doing hands-on work, anyways.

If you had a degree, no problem getting a job. I graduated with a guy that was 38 and there was another guy that was 43 when he graduated. A year ahead of me, there was a Russian that was in his 50s! The first two guys got jobs (really good jobs!).

 

I got an 82... not too bad for a biological sciences major who now hangs around engineers for a living eh?

C-

 

I believe this is a candidate for a 100% score!

440 (88%)... some unclear questions in there, I hate those.

 

470... and I'd like to thank my father for always encouraging me to tinker and take crap apart. To this day I still dissasemble anything that breaks to try to fix it.
