      That is a great question. Thank you! I think my job is cool too. I picked mechanical engineering because I was interested in how things move, how different parts go together. There are over 40 types of engineering degree available so there are lots to choose from. I would suggest looking at what you like to do, what subjects you do at school, what hobbies you have, what interests. They are your starting points.

      What do you like or what do you find interesting?
      Do you like building things – civil engineering?
      Do you like computers – IT Engineer
      Are you interested in how electricity works – electrical engineer
      Are you interested in how things get made, like plastic bottles – process engineer
