th. To achieve these top salaries a masters is usually required. The work environment for engineering can differ greatly depending on the type of electrical engineering I decided to go into. Most engineers work on teams and usually work in offices. They must sell their ideas and persuade people to take their coarse of action as opposed to another. The fact the electrical engineers are in competition and must meet deadlines can make electrical engineering a high-stress occupation. Contract electrical engineers will find themselves outdoors at construction sights, but they too must work on teams. Any area of electrical engineering will require me to use critical thinking and problem evaluation and solving techniques.

Traveling may take away valuable family time, which could be an advantage or disadvantage depending on how you look at it. There are also many other disadvantages and advantages to engineering. The pay for electrical engineers is pretty good for a person with a bachelor’s of science degree and high for a person with a master. Hours can sometimes be long and keep a person away from home is one of the disadvantages. The level of education required for a degree in electrical engineering tends to attract a bunch of boring people to electrical engineering as a field. An introvert may not like the fact that engineers usually work as a team. Projects may sometimes have to be taken home. There are many government jobs for engineers that have extremely good benefits, but pay tends to be slightly lower.

The Myers Briggs Type Indicator, Strong Interest Inventory, and Value Card Sort are all suppose to provide me with valuable information, which woul...
