Welcome to Ethan's Page about Mechanical Enginee Mechanical Engineering = Mechanical Engineering: Job Titles/ Roles = Every one uses something a Mechanical Engineer either designed or assembled .Mechanical engineering is a job that is very diverse in job titles. Job titles include; Now although there are many job titles and roles Mechanical engineers can be sent to various locations. From Hawii to Alaska there are always jobs and work to be done. Our government even employs coorporations of engineers to build various weapons vehicals and they are also used as almost a high maintenance mechanic. The reason they can work in so many places is because everything needs to be worked on or fixed. Mechanical engineers have to be able too work with computers as well as other tools so that they can design create and fix things.

=Salary= The avareage salary for the all of the jobs stated above are from $60,000-$85,000 annually ( starting pay scale). once you become a Senior Mechanical Engineer you can make anywhere from $75,000-$100,000 annually. Now that you've seen the pay scale let me tell you little about what you see above. to start with the top this graph is saying that right out of college less than a year after you get the job you can make anywhere from about 50 thousand to about 60 thousand. one to four years later you could make anywhere from 55 to 65 thousand dollars. five to nine years 60 to 80 thousand, ten to nineteen years 65 to 95 thousand, and twenty years or more anywhere from 75 to 110 thousand dollars. =Schooling Required= The basic requirments for a mechanical engineer is a bachelors degree. But the further you go into school (Ex: Masters, Doctoral degree) the more money you can make in the long run. Some schools in Florida that offer Mechanical Engineering including F.I.T., U.S.F., and U.F. now these are only a few of the schools that you can attend for engineering there re many others outside the state of Florida. =Location For Career= Depending on your job title, and what you want to do for the most part in this field, you can work almost anywhere in the world. they always need Mechanical engineers to work and build new things like cars and work on high tech things like planes, Rockets and even tanks. **Why I am interested** i am interested because it is a job that is well paying but you can also work with your hands and it opens up a lot of opportunities to travel and have a good stable job. To me it is one of the most fascinating jobs, Mechanical Engineers now are even working on micro glands for people whose bodies cant regulate their glucose levels. This job has so many different roles and titles and jobs within the job that you can do, that you never get bored and i will never have to worry about money. = = =Interview Questions=
