So I can reach and help more engineers! Thanks!
Which type of engineering degree did you choose? And what should I make next, thanks 1% Nation!!
Hey Jake. Is it possible for civil or structural engineers to find employment in fields that don't exactly relate to their studies such as the automobile, aviation and firearms industries.? 🤔
Hey is it possible for u to do another video more in depth about industrial engineering? I like the field but there isn't much videos on YT that go further than just explain what it is .
Computer Engineering is what I chose.
Oh crap I am a 2nd year chemical engineer
Third year chemical engineer.
I watched that video a while back and remember being super discouraged because I was unsure if I wanted to stay in mechanical engineering. Glad to have someone support engineering because most videos seem to just discourage it. Junior in ME right now and excited for the opportunities it will provide!
Yup! Those people suck bruh so stick with it. You can do anything you want with a mechanical engineering degree. Have you seen my ME videos? These could be helpful.
“What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?” th-cam.com/video/5wEteXzhtak/w-d-xo.html
“Jobs for Mechanical Engineers” th-cam.com/video/L95q-d6FWVY/w-d-xo.html
Let me know anything I can help you with k? I respond to all comments. Cheers!!
wow, this is the first time when I see a real engineer calling software devs "engineers" as well. Being a software engineer myself, I am really pleased to hear that :)
Hey thanks for the comment. There’s a moment in the video where
Well here’s the thing right. There is a huge different between people in software development calling themselves software engineers, and the people who have legitimate engineering degrees and can call themselves a software engineer. It just sounds cooler to say engineer.
Plus, software engineers design and make software. Coders and programmers and architects and developers and data scientists may never actually design and build software.
So which one are you? Are you a software engineer? Cheers and thanks again, let me know what follow up questions you have and I can help you with anything okay? Thanks !!
@@JakeVoorhees Hi! Well, I have a Computer Science degree, which is technically not an Eng degree, but yes, I work in the engineering department of the Data Analytics department of a company as a Software Engineer, and I both design, architecture, and then build - we build connectors between our system and the existing tools in the company to integrate the data, also I build Business Process Automation tools to replace time-consuming user actions on our platform.
Apart from this, I am doing part-time Masters in Data Science, and I wouldn't say that data scientists or data analysts don't build software - for each school project, I still have to design and build a system that will clean the data, transform the data, parse it in a certain way, and then analyze it using code. One of the requirements of the Analytics project is to be Reproducible, which means someone can take the same data and use the created code and will get the same insights. This code can even be deployed somewhere - so technically that's also "software". This is useful especially in the case of Real-Time or Streaming data Analysis. In the future, I plan to switch to Data Engineer or Machine Learning Engineer roles :) Both are slightly different but very exciting areas
Hey thanks so much for all this insight! Really appreciate the comment. Eventually, I'm going to do a video about data science. I'm particularly interested in the fact that Matt Tran's #1 video is about data science with Joma, and I am very interested in continuing to make videos with different perspectives than people like Matt, so I saved your response in a doc and may include it. Can I get in touch with you about more data science things in the future? Thanks so much, cheers! Let me know if there are any career questions I can help you with ok? Thanks
@@JakeVoorhees Sure, you can add me on Linked In - Ofeliia Bagratian :) happy to connect
@@JakeVoorhees I watched their Data Science Expectation vs Reality video, and I think what they say can be applied to many jobs with 2 exceptions:
1. Companies, where IT is not the core of the business, can not have multiple types of Data Scientists, so most of their jobs require Data and Software Engineering skills, statistics, Artificial Intelligence, Business domain knowledge, Databases, and Advanced Degrees.
2. The nature of the job also depends on the type of data that is being analyzed. If that's some Marketing data for selling videos, obviously, someone can do a quick analysis, that does not have to be reproducible and can quickly show the insights to the managers. However, for example, I work for Pharma, so I know that most projects follow very strict guidelines, have to follow the compliance, government regulations, and the law, have to be fully unbiased, and reproducible, and properly stored since it can concern life-critical data and etc..... (you got the point) There is a difference between doing wong analysis on marketing data and selling some products to the wrong audience and then not being able to reproduce and understand why, and doing wrong analysis of clinical or pharmaceutical ingredient data....
I got accepted into college for electrical engineering and I am very excited that I found this channel.
Nice! Congrats and thanks for the comment. Really glad you said that. So what are you trying to figure out next / what is on your mind about EE? Cheers and chat more soon, I respond to 100% of comments, later!
@@JakeVoorhees I was also accepted to thr 49th world ranked university in electrical engineering. there was 3 options for the major, CE IT or EE. I was quite arbitrary about this tho
@@josechristianabraham1148 dang okay well do you like programming and theoretical math and situations? That’s the main difference between EE and others. You cannot see electricity or magnetism and you need to become a good programmer. EEs take arguably the most challenging math compared to other engineers. Thanks again for the comment! Let me know if I can help w anything k cheers
@@JakeVoorhees To be honest, out of all mathematical subjects , Theoritical one such as Probabilities and discrete math is the one that I struggle the most. However, I do think it is because my limited experience on the subject, not my interest. I Also struggle in Electric and magnetism , Although I do think I had the same problem as aforementioned subject
@@JakeVoorhees In the field of programming on the other hand, I also lack the experience to say that I don't like programming
FUCK YES i remember watching that video so unsatisfied we love you jake
Righhtt? Thanks for the comment! Glad you mentioned this. Which type of engineering are you going for? Cheers thanks!
@@JakeVoorhees Thanks for the response! I'm an incoming junior studying civil eng -- I am pressing the brakes a bit with this online semester bc of a personal rule that I wouldn't take any "real" labs online -- it works out because I'm taking a mechanical engineering minor, mostly thermal and energy centered. I hope to get a masters degree and then teach at the community/city college level to sustain myself while I continue to progress down that relative path -- Do you have any videos on this? Would you be willing to make one? Or do you have any advice right now? THANK YOU.
Okay, extra context:
Current classes: Thermo, Dynamics, Python (basically), Machinery Design
* Considering dropping that last one... (it's not even on my registrar, just looks fun but I want to work!)
* Mostly ME classes this semester (besides overlap courses) bc I'm ahead relative to certain areas in my degree
It was discouraging. I’m a BME and the job outlook is pretty solid.
@@josephkitchen3059 Nice, I'm glad about your outlook. I'm making a video next on my tier list and I'm not that encouraging of BME. Maybe it's too harsh and maybe a bunch of BMEs will be upset, but we'll see. I can't understand why there are 7000 degrees added to the industry each year and only 21,000 jobs? I'd love to have your insights honestly. I guess so many BMEs end up working in some role that isnt a BME then right? Thanks and hope to chat more about it soon, cheers
@@grantgudmann272 Hey Grant. I LOVE your first comment man. I was just rereading it to my girlfriend sitting right now. And its funny how you said "we" :) I'm curious which part of your career plan (which I think is great by the way) is what you are asking about. I learned really quickly in grad school to eliminate any chance of misunderstanding in my writing and speech, because openness to interpretation means your reader can mess something up.
So are you asking about getting a civil engineering masters? Teaching at the college level while advancing in your career? Mechanical engineering minor? The labs? I think you are asking about teaching along the way, which I think is a cool idea. But you will probably find it difficult to become an adjunct professor at such a young age. You will be younger than most of the students as these institutions often have non-traditional students. I have never heard of an adjunct being in their 20s.
So yeah let me know more about what you are trying to figure out and I can help you with that. Really appreciate you being a part of the community my man. Thanks again
Your videos are so much more in depth and explain the nuances, I’m so glad I found your channel!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate that. What type of engineering are you trying to do? I did a best engineering majors perspective of my own that I think could help you, “Best Engineering Majors | Engineering Degree Tier List” th-cam.com/video/nfayHVJlKgQ/w-d-xo.html
Does that help? Let me know what questions I can help you with next okay? I answer everything, cheers !!
As an engineer student, I'm so glad I ran into on TH-cam! You are very informative and you actually helped me understand the many paths I can take as I get my degree. Thank you!
Thank you so much!! I made this follow up video by the way, and several more that can help you choose the specific concentration within the big 3 engineering majors.

@@JakeVoorhees thank you!! Since I'm currently working in building automation, I enjoy working with controls and programming so I feel electrical engineering would be my best bet. But I'm still researching. Would you recommend electrical engineering?
You are welcome. Electrical Engineering is the best engineering major to me right now. I ranked it high in my degree tier list here, and below that are great jobs for electrical engineers, and $100k+ roles in the final video

I’m glad you blasted him. I watched his video and laughed so hard about a year ago. I’m an ee and I work at ups as a plant engineer which is the true jack of all trades. We do civil projects, lots of electrical and mechanical and so on
During these times your videos really motivate me. Keep up the quality content !
Heyyy what a great comment, thank you! I really appreciate that. There are so many people who are discouraging about engineering, so I'm glad to hear this. What other engineering student/career questions do you have? Let me know so I can support you there. I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!
Man, glad you made this video. Your perspective is much appreciated. I put a little too much faith into Shane's videos it seems.
I'm so glad this video exists, I watched one of Shane's videos when I first started my undergrad in 2017 and was so unsatisfied with his ridiculous content and then I watched one again today and it was still extremely ridiculous.
Cheers
What’s ur degree
Great video, It's always good that there are different voices in youtube and help people see things in multiple angles
And this is exactly why I love seeing Jake in my feed. My hope for the engineering fields soars high
YUP!! Thanks so much for saying that. I guess you have the notification bell turned on huh? What are you up to in your engineering journey? Let me know what direct help I can provide you and I will support you there. Thanks so much again. I screenshot and save awesome comments so thanks so much! Cheers!
Not in college yet, so I'm on the fence about what imma do, so vids like this help a ton (although civil engineering is my favorite and most "passionate" option so far), keep it up lol
Nice! Thanks for the comment. Well you know I'm into civil engineering haha, as that is what I chose. Have you seen my civil engineering videos? “What Do Civil Engineers Do” th-cam.com/video/FssJcjOIB7A/w-d-xo.html
“Civil Engineering Have a Good Future | Good Major?” th-cam.com/video/O2eedXUxTDM/w-d-xo.html
Construction Engineering sits nearby civil engineering, so make sure you watch this too, “Is Construction Engineering A Good Major | Construction Engineering vs Civil Engineering” th-cam.com/video/HHiBTH4ufYU/w-d-xo.html
Let me know what questions you have and I can help you with those. I respond to every comment, cheers and thank again!
For anyone deciding; a lot of schools offer their first year as a general engineering schedule that every single first year will have and it’s great if you don’t know what you want to do. After that first year then you get to specialize or even switch out into a different STEM major because your first year is so broad
YES! Thank you for this comment. I love that universities are starting to do this. I was a first year engineer 15 years ago where I went, University of Delaware, did not have this option. But I would say 50% of the support I provide to engineering students is around choosing the right major, because its really hard to know. What did you end up going with? Let me know if there is anything I can help you with right now, and I can lend a hand for that. I respond to 100% of comments, thanks!
New video!! Watching now. Thanks so much for such consistent, educational (entertaining!!!) content. Good stuff!!
Anndddd, "Best Comment of the New Year Award" goes toooooo, drummmm rolll, FLOAT GIRLLLLLLLL
You mean the CRUNCH comment right?? 😂😂😂 you’re on a roll!!
@@alissabestwick8521 Yupppp, CRUNCH. Homemade crunch wrap supremeeeee what
I just love the fact that this channel is all about Engineering so the information is much more accurate👌🏼... as a mechanical engineering student, I am much more intrested in design and computer focused jobs, rather than active and hands-on jobs.
so I would really appreciate if you could make a video, going through the numbers and details of these two specific job types in mechanical engineering💥
Hey man thanks for that awesome comment. Mechanical engineering is a great career, and I think you are leaning towards the better side of things with design and computer focused jobs. The programs you would use are AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc. That is probably 90% of engineering jobs by the way. You have to really strive for a “hands on” job in engineering in order to get one.
This mechanical engineering video focuses on the various sectors you can work, What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?” th-cam.com/video/5wEteXzhtak/w-d-xo.html
This video isolates 5 types of mechanical engineering in order to communicate what an automotive engineer works on, an aerospace engineer, a product engineer, engineer working on software, etc.

@@JakeVoorhees this really made me feel a lot more comfortable and interested in my degree . Thank you !
@@freshman4993 Yeah bro, ME is fresh, mannnnn. hahahah. Honestly you're going to be fine. All engineers will. Shane and Matt should not be scaring people away from engineering. Let me know in the comments whatever else I can help you with in the future k? Cheers bruuuhhhh
Nice seeing your perspective on Shane’s video. You made plenty of good points and I think some of Shane’s points were good too.
Computer engineering does seem to fit in S tier imo cuz how there’s a lot of coding involved and it’s one of the most demanded skills now and in the future too (can transition to software eng. too) and CE is a bit more broad than Aerospace.
Btw, I am in my junior year of Mechanical eng., after transferring from community college last fall. It’s a bit hard but interesting. My university actually also offers Ocean engineering and Geomatics engineering which you might not heard of.
Thanks for this comment! Cool insight about computer engineering. Ya I made this video called “100 Types of Engineers” th-cam.com/video/aKrUAEWWGtc/w-d-xo.html and also worked with an ocean engineer in university. It’s a cool industry.
What are you trying to figure out next after your transfer from comm college into ME? Good move and good for you. You’ll always look back at that decision with pride and a smile. Let me know how I can help k cheers thanks for being here
@@JakeVoorhees I transferred from a comm. coll. into a public University last fall so I am in my second semester there now in my junior year of ME. I want to work with robotics after I graduate but I am also very open to other industries like biomedical and aerospace. They seem interesting too. I really like how broad ME is.
Also, is it worth it to get a masters in ME or is just a bachelors should be ok?
I've been an engineer for a long time. IMO the best undergraduate majors (in engineering or any other field) are those that give you the most options to change your mind later. Don't choose a narrow speciality when you're 20 years old and limit your choices for the rest of your life. Stick with the traditional degrees and save the specialties for graduate school or on-the-job training.
Do you think Mechanical Engineering is a great choice? Please answer, thanks. 🙏🏾
what’s an imo?
@@samograff8303 "imo" stands for "in my opinion"
what do you think about Mechatronics? Its a Bachelors degree here in Germany and I thought to myself that this is the best one because its not gonna limit my options when it comes to choosing my masters programm. Many thanks for the answer in advance.
@@Moos1904 I like Mechatronics - at least in principle. It combines elements of Mechanical Engr with Elelectical Engr, and both of those fields are well established, foundational and well worth your while. A Mechatronics degree is still relatively new, however, (at least in the US) and I'm not sure if the curriculum has been standardized, so it is difficult for me to comment on a particular program. But assuming your school does a proper job of it, Mechatronics should be a good choice. Best of luck.
*I like this video a lot Jake!*
*We gotta try out some new stuff this year!*
thanks Siddu, yeah trying some new stuff like ripping people hahahahaha. Hope you're doing well, cheers man
You really cleared things up for me, lol.
I am currently looking at Mechanical Engineering, glad it's top 3, so I'll be checking it out.
Hey Jake... I'm going to major electrical engineering this year and I would really love a video on skills to learn while in school that attract meaningful jobs in the 21st century.
Love your work. Thank you so much!
Yuppppp, people on my 1% board have suggested that. Good request. I’ll get working on it! Make sure to have the bell turned on because it’ll probably be a couple weeks. I have a new Matt Tran rip coming out soon hahahahaha. For now, do you have any more questions? I respond to 100% of comments so I encourage you to ask whatever you like bruh thanksssss
@@JakeVoorhees wow you really do care. Thank you once more. Looking forward to the episode :)
I'm studying mechanical engineering rn. I knew I wanted to do engineering but I wasn't sure what kind. It's good knowing that I can pursue other types of engineering and I'm not restricted to what's written on my degree.
Yup!! ME is probably the most diverse degree in engineering. ME or EE. Mechanical is probably more because you can design any physical components in the world for any sector or industry, and on top of that, you can learn the programming side of things. And then you can really get any job so yes. Good call on your part.
Have you seen my mechanical engineering videos?
"What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?" th-cam.com/video/5wEteXzhtak/w-d-xo.html and "Jobs for Mechanical Engineers", th-cam.com/video/L95q-d6FWVY/w-d-xo.html. Thanks so much! Let me know how to help you next okay? Cheers!

Let me know if you have any follow up questions and I can help you with those. Thanks!! I respond to every comment
@@JakeVoorhees I'm a senior in high school and I'm really interested in mechanical engineering ( tbh only mechatronics) but I find that the EE curriculum seems more interesting. Knowing this I researched on both fields extensively and came to the conclusion that the ME classes in general seem great (statics, dynamics, CAD classes, etc) while FEW EE classes are extremely interesting..
Would it be possible for me to major in mechanical engineering and take some electives I find interesting in EE (electroncs + electromagnetism+ controls)? Would it be too much of a course load?
Edit: sorry for the long msg😪
That was a great video! I am just getting into figuring out what I want to do, and this really helped me narrow it down!
Nice! Happy to help and thanks for the comment. What types of engineers are you thinking about? Let me know what I can do to help k, cheers thanks again
@@JakeVoorhees civil engineering for sure, other then that not specific yet what part, still working on that

I truly love your entire explanation. THANK YOU A LOT. I'm almost to decide what type of engineering if Industrial or Biomedical, I know you alredy explained but could you be more specific, focus on these two if is possible. I love medical field but my experience is more in manufactory area and third part hospital. What you suggest? Cause I'm looking to move to FIU for BME. Thanks, I'm glad to get to this channel. "Only if you're Engineering, you could advise people," and you were right with the comparison lol.
Great video 👍🏾 keep it up 💯
Heyyy thanks for the comment. What are you up to in your engineering career journey? Let me know what questions you have and I can help you with those, cheers thanks again!
One of my favorite things about your channel is that I can tell you are very proud to be an engineer. I am in my last year of my aerospace engineering undergraduate program and I absolutely love my field of study. The only thing I would change is that obviously aerospace is number one then its mechanical, electrical and civil!
Heyyy thanks for the comment. Yup, you're right. I love engineering and I try to be super encouraging. I just made my own engineering degree tier list video that is out soon, and I think I made AE 4th. It's really hard for it to outweigh the big 3 engineering majors, civil/electrical/mechanical, because they are all 300,000+ jobs vs AE with 66,000. However, I did say in the video that if I was a first year engineering student right now, I would do AE for sure. I'm the most excited about that sector, and to me, it is 100% future proof.
Have you seen my AE videos? They could be helpful. “What is Aerospace Engineering? What do Aerospace Engineers Do?” th-cam.com/video/vDa0fB6kxVc/w-d-xo.html

Let me know what I can help you with next okay? I respond to all comments. Cheers!!
Love your description of industrial engineering.
Could you do a video about Biotechnology in the future? It would be incredibly useful while there aren't many videos out there covering that topic
Jake- You are a model engineer. I can see your passion for your field and for helping others. I have watched your videos and love how you incorporate and feature ALL kinds of engineers including women and 'minorities' in your discussions. This is huge for students who don't see representations of themselves in engineering. Whenever I want my students to learn about engineering, I ask them to watch your videos because they are inclusive, informative, and practical. Keep doing what you are doing because your work is needed and valued. 😃😃
Wow what an amazing comment. Makes me want to cry. I’m really glad you recognize my inclusion because yes it’s quite intentional. I want women and future engineers of color to see themselves in the shoes as well.
That’s why I do all of this. To help and inspire future engineers all around.
So tell me more about you - are you a professor or engineering teacher somewhere? How can I help you and your students more? I’d love to chat with you, as I learn of educators here and there who utilize my videos, so if I can help you more I’d like to discover how. Thank you!
Damn, a lot of shade here.
I would argue in addition to what you said about Petros that they're one of the few that also allows you to work in the field and actually get your hands dirty. I'd also argue that you do get to do get to do "additionally cool things" that many of the other disciplines don't do; travel, field work, work, etc. I'd also point out that it offers the best path to a management position in any industry due to the exposure you have to "all the money flying around" as your main goal is to reduce costs and optimize systems. This level of exposure to economics is not at all common in other disciplines and is beneficial in more than just petroleum.
You did make a lot of good points outside of that though, glad to see someone cleaned up that guy's video.
I'm senior electrical engineering student. In order to graduate in my university we have to specialize in three of these : Control system engineer, power system engineer, embedded system engineer, microelectronics engineer, communication engineer Electromagnetic engineer or image processing engineer, digital signal processing engineer or hardware engineer.
Very cool stuff, thanks for the comment. I have the perfect video for you if you need help deciding, “Jobs for Electrical Engineers over $100,000” th-cam.com/video/Vi4hkCeNWs0/w-d-xo.html. Power engineering should be in your choices, and probably microelectronics and either communications or digital signal processing.
But, don't worry, no matter what you choose, you aren't pigeon holing yourself into something where you cannot navigate outside of it or wherever you want later. An electrical engineering degree is one of the most flexible degrees you can have. Honestly you can work anywhere you want afterwards. What do you want to do? What's your dream job situation and I can help you figure out how to get there. I respond to 100% of comments, thanksssss!
I remember watching that video and it was so obviously untrue. Glad you gave a touch in this
Yup what a joker lol thanks Momen
I want to be an Environmental Engineer and this swept my doubts away. Thank you!
I’m not an engineer I’m just a year 10 student in the UK but from what I’ve seen, I’d say that engineering professions generally fall under three main categories that tend to overlap, Mechanical Systems, Electrical and Software systems and then finally Biochemical systems, so like biomed is a mix of mechanical, electrical and Biochemical, mechatronics is electrical and mechanical (and biochemical to some extent with bionics) etc
Hey bro loved your vid, I'm going into mechanical engineering here in the uk
Love the backdrop bro!
Thank you! Yeah I added more stuff so it's filled out a little more now. Cheers Sean and thanks for commenting man, later
Great video jake 👍 when chosing a field of engineering you should reflect on your geographical location. Are there experts in that field at your nearest University? The job prospects really depends on your location
Thanks so much Rose! Yes that part is super important. That is another thing I hugely value about the 1% Team. I've been able to learn more about each of your countries and the engineering aspects that are influential there. Thank you for you and everything you have done with the IG and online community since we met, cheers!
I started off as electrical engineering but had to switch to mechanical engineering because of financial reasons. Mechanical engineering is substantially cheaper at my university. However, I am taking some computer science classes to break into software engineering. I also plan on doing a masters in computer science. I miss electrical engineering and truly believe that it's for me. I also love mechanical and feel as though I have reached an excellent compromise for the price I'm paying. I hate that I'll miss out on all the programming and signal based classes but I enjoy my statics and dynamics courses too. Good luck to everyone out there!
Ok don't give it hard. You shouldn't be great engineer like Nikola Tesla
Editing is 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thank you sir!! Always enjoy your comments cheers. Let me know if I can help you with anything. I chatted w Astro lately and we want to have a discord team meetup. Thanks!!
You have basically explained every single engineer career in one video, you have earned my respect
Wow thank you so much!! That’s a great comment and I’m really glad you found the video. I actually screen shot and save the favorite comments and this one made the list! What are you up to in your engineering journey or career? Let me know if you have any questions about anything and I can help you with those. Cheers and thanks again!!
@@JakeVoorhees Hey jake, can you make a video talking about the engineering stuff from iron man? Thx luv ur channel! :)
@@JakeVoorheesi am a senior in hs that is going to college next year for chemical engineering, chemical engineering is really what I want to do but I hear many bad things about the degree, should I just switch to electrical?
Hi there, interesting video, I personally like both Shane's and your channels. Perhaps an interesting comparison, Chemical Engineering vs Computer Engineering? I am soon to be a 2-nd year student in the US and I am from Eastern Europe. The demand for software here is huge, but I cannot find many chemical engineering positions. If both majors had the same possible outcome in terms of job availability and salary, I would pick Chemical. However, I don't know now, both of them are interesting. Any tips?
I think the government is a decent source for projecting how good a career is for the most part. Like you said, paradigm shifts can occur but those are super rare and rarely ever happen with any sort of frequency. I don't think Shane is trying to say the government is infallible when it comes to job forecasting, but that they're simply the best source overall.
Thanks for that💜could you please make one about the mechanical subfields, (power, design & production, automotive, mechatronics...etc) Thank you so much!💜
Hey thanks for the comment. Yeah absolutely, my most popular video is about that, here you go:

@@amaniaboud5375 chat more soon, thanks !!
Hi jake, i was very happy to see a real engineer's insight and approach to this ranking, primarily bc i'm graduating highschool this year and i'm considering a chemical engineering degree (ps i don't live in America so hopefully there are more opportunities), do you really think a chemical engineering degree is not a good one? Bc from what i have searched, they can work in renewable energy fields as well as pharmaceutical it doesn't really have to center around oils, gas, plastics, since we're trying to include sustainability in our lives to save the planet, i would be very happy for insight🌻 thank you for the great video.
Yeah thanks so much for such a great question. Okay so I can only really respond to this from a USA perspective, but I am not entirely supportive of chemical engineering. There are only 32,600 chemical engineers employed in the USA today, and there are over 10,000 degrees awards each year here. This mean, so many chemical engineers have to step into adjacent roles and work within some title that is not the major they studied for. Process engineering, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, plastics, food engineering - you name it. Sure its flexible and broad, but there is something very uncomfortable to see just 32,000 jobs and soooooo many degrees awarded per year. Plus, chemical engineering is usually regarded as top 3 most difficult majors based on GPA, so why even do that to yourself if you cannot get a job in ChemE?
What country are you? Maybe you guys have a large chemical engineering sector, which in that case, all of this is finnnneee. So let me know more about your situation okay? I respond to every comment, so would love to continue to support you, cheers!
@@JakeVoorhees thank you sooo much for taking time and replying and helping aspiring engineers, I really think you're doing an honorable job, so what makes me consider this degree is that my country (morocco) has the biggest solar energy plant in the world so that means renewable energy and sustainability will be a major powerhouse in the future, also it just opened its first chemical engineering school in 2019 and they only accept 52 students per year, so basically if i were accepted this year and after graduating with the degree i would be the third promo, and that'll mean they'll be less than 170 engineers in the whole country, moreover each group of people will lean to choose a specific field, like pharmaceutical, food, energy that creates more opportunities.. So i hope there'll be plenty of space to squeeze myself into the job market and hopefully get a job, but with considering your opinion(of which i think very highly) i'll reconsider other majors and search more. Thank you infinitely 🌻🌻
As someone who studied Mechanical, Shane's video initially confused me, but it is good to have these debates.
Hey thanks ya I know right. Glad to have your comment and cheers. So here are some ME resources that may help you.
Here is a video that goes over a bunch of ME sectors, "What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?" th-cam.com/video/5wEteXzhtak/w-d-xo.html and this one looks at careers like automotive, aerospace, product engineering for ME, etc:

@@JakeVoorhees I'm going to be a Computer Engineer. I do have a question. Should I minor in anything and if so what would be a good minor for Computer Engineers or various Engineers in general?
Heyyy thanks for another the comment. So I'm not entirely sure if minoring in something is the way to go for engineers. There are not many "next step decision makers" who will be impressed with a minor, nor does it do much for you in general in terms of career advancement. Employers don’t necessarily choose job candidates or push people forward because of their minor. In fact, I only really encourage minors if you are super passionate about the field and it's more like an interesting hobby than work that will take time away from engineering. That or, maybe you can get a minor in something like math where you only need 1-2 extra courses and do not need to add more university time, and you are so close already that it makes sense to add it. Otherwise, again, decision majors don't care about double majors, or minors at all. Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have k and I can help you with those. Cheers and thanks again!
Haha brooo, chill chill. Thanks for giving us this video!!!!
hahahah thanks, appreciate the comment. Let me know what I can help you with okay? Cheers thanks!
I’m an engineer, & I can say it’s not the only 4yr degree that pays dividends & opens up doors, my sister was ICU RN, and made/still makes more money than I do, especially during covid, we were out of work while the nursing field was cleaning up at the bank. She’s now a nurse anesthetist and makes roughly 2.5 times my salary. But as I said, even as just an ICU RN, she was raking in the dough. Since covid the system has been placing more emphasis on the healthcare industry, so I’d def recommend nursing to those, who find engineering isn’t their thing. It’s more of a durable career choice given we all get old at some point.
True. I almost chose it, but I'm glad I didn't because I was able to avoid getting vaxed because the company I work for as an engineer let us decide. Looking back, Thank god.
@@69Chevelle97Americans are so stupid not getting 3 times the salary bc you don’t want a medicine shot
YESSSS! Really prompting... Ima probably major in EE now :D . I couldn't narrow my interest so was unable to choose between SE AND EE. TY We love U jake 😘😘
Thank you for this awesome comment! I save my favorite ones. This one is included now. So I guess "SE" was software engineering? Yeah you don't want to study that. There are only 30 ABET programs so if you're going to do one, its CS rather than SE. Plus, EE and CPE degrees can work as software engineers, so I fully support you doing EE.
Have you see my EE videos? “What Do Electrical Engineers Do?” th-cam.com/video/zRawKI6Qsm0/w-d-xo.html
And this one talks about high paying EE roles:
“Jobs for Electrical Engineers over $100,000” th-cam.com/video/Vi4hkCeNWs0/w-d-xo.html
Also, a lot of electrical engineers wish to work in mechatronics/robotics, so check out this video “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” th-cam.com/video/4YjLZcQRLds/w-d-xo.html
And since computer engineering is a subset of electrical engineering, “What Do Computer Engineers Do?” th-cam.com/video/hiL-cTbz188/w-d-xo.html
I hope these help. Let me know what follow up questions you have so I can help you with those. I respond to all questions. Cheers and thanks again!!
I just got accepted into Electrical Engineering at Georgia Tech. I have the opportunity to minor in Energy Systems on a pathway specifically for EE majors. This is really an interesting field to me the more I learn about it, but I don’t know much about what that field is like in the real world. Would pursuing that minor along with an EE major make practical sense? Or would it just be a waste of effort/time. Love the videos!
Woot wooottttt, what a great school. Thanks so much for the comment.
I'm not entirely sure if minoring in something is the way to go for engineers. There are not many "next step decision makers" who will be impressed with a minor, nor does it do much for you in general in terms of career advancement. Employers don’t necessarily choose job candidates or push people forward because of their minor.

Otherwise, again, decision majors don't care about double majors, or minors at all.
However, here is the good thing about minors. Say you do know what concentration or focus or sector you want to go into, then maybe a specific minor for that area will give you an advantage when entering the job market. So in your situation, maybe its okay? If its not going to add a whole lot of extra time, if you like it, etc, if everything else is a go, then go for it.
Does this help and make sense? There is no right or wrong with minors. Just opinions :) Let me know what follow up questions you have k and I can help you with those. Cheers and thanks again!
Yeah it would more so be focusing your EE electives towards Energy and then you can officially get a minor if you want without adding much more time. I’m probably gonna use lots of that time to take more CS type classes as much as I can, as you and many others have referenced that plays such a huge part in EE. So I’ll probably go for the CS stuff over the Energy stuff. Thanks so much for the reply, you have no idea how helpful your videos have been!
Could you give me some advice as to how i can get in Tech? I am planning to transfer from GSU but my grades are not so impressive. In fact nothing about me is impressive cause I'm only now starting to be more serious about my future 😭
Started off in Astronautical Engineering but realized I am more interested in the rocket engine itself than satellites and structures, so I switched over to Mechanical Engineering - Propulsion Track before classes forked off in different directions.
Awesome video!
I am a civil engineer student and currently stuck between transportation or structural. Can you briefly speak about the Opportunities for both and which one should one lean towards to as an emphasis.
Other than that, great video and thank you!
Yup! Thanks for the comment. K so I personally did transportation because of its connection to technology. Driverless vehicles, connected infrastructure communication with vehicles, drones, flying cars, etc - this stuff is heavily connected to our technological progression. Buildings and bridges? Not so much, there is much less innovation. The main thing going on there is how we model them using Building Information Modeling (BIM) versus the old way.
I made a pretty cool video called, “What Do Civil Engineers Do” th-cam.com/video/FssJcjOIB7A/w-d-xo.html where I discuss the 5 sectors.
This one talks about, “Civil Engineering Have a Good Future | Good Major?” th-cam.com/video/O2eedXUxTDM/w-d-xo.html
Construction Engineering sits nearby civil engineering, so make sure you watch this too, “Is Construction Engineering A Good Major | Construction Engineering vs Civil Engineering” th-cam.com/video/HHiBTH4ufYU/w-d-xo.html
But really you can have a good career in both. Most civil engineers want to design buildings and bridges, so thats okay. It's just not what I did.

What do you think about Energy Engineering? It’s a course that comprehends Electrical + Generation Methods (petroleum, nuclear and sustainable ones) Then with a Robotics or Computer Science minor it becomes very complete, right?
I’m Brazilian and Universities are free here (if you pass of course) so I want to make the best use possible.
Love it. I will push myself into aerospace engineering. Bro can you make an another video about aerospace engineering and how to get into it?

Hate it when people judge, my specialty is aerospace engineering but most engineering degrees are very similar to one another for example I got friends who study mechanical and electrical and we have very similar modules. I think at the end of the day it’s what you prefer which will determine how well your going to perform.
Yeah that’s exactly right. ME and EE are somewhat similar. EE is far more theoretical and requires a lot of programming. ME takes fluids and thermal and avoids the theoretical stuff. You can see it. You cannot see electricity or magnetism. AE is a super cool field and gets paid well, and I think has a good future for sure. Lots of space related companies now. People shouldn’t judge and ya I agree with you on all this. It’s mostly about what you like and what you wanna do. All engineering’s are great.
Anything I can help you with in the student journey and or career? I respond to all comments, thanks!!
@@JakeVoorhees thank you for the comment! I do have a few questions which I messaged you on Instagram after giving you a follow! :)
Great okay, thanks for coming back for that. I'm not that active on IG, and asking things here as a lot of secondary benefits.

As a fellow Engineer. You make a huge point in networking essentially you can get a degree in whatever branch of engineering that’s great. If you don’t do the networking like joining clubs or societies or even looking for internships doing the groundwork you’re going to be stuck.

Almost seems like you and Shane spoke before this video was made or you know each other. I dont know. I do have a question would a double major in nanoengineering and computer engineering be a good idea?
Wow what awesome intuition. You’re exactly right. I emailed shane months ago and let him know I was going to create a more exaggerated beef and either dress up and make it obvious or wear a wig or something. But I decided to make it more real and honestly just let him have it. Everything I’m saying in this vidoe I really do believe and the content is authentic. I’m impressed that you knew. My Matt Tran criticism video did so well, I’ve been trying to find other ways to add value and contradict existing engineering content that needs contradiction.
Humans love beefs and feuds and drama.
By the way, I learned and this “manufactured beef” strategy from jake and Logan Paul and KSI and rice gum. They are all friends and hate on other another online. It works.
So I’m doing a little of that but what I’m saying about my critique of his video is real. Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any engineering questions and I can help you with those, thanks!!
I already have the degree and career in mind alongside tactics and strategies for engineering, but this was still entertaining.
You have valid points 🙌🙌

@@JakeVoorhees im choosing between civil and mechanical but im looking at electrical too, im interested in all of these but more inclined to civil.
@@priyalpradhan2777 Okay cool yeah, thanks for the comment. I'm a civil engineer, so I support this of course. There are more civil engineers employed in The USA than any other type of engineering, followed immediately by EE and closely by ME. So you are looking at the big 3 which is what I like students to do. Basically, CEs are the young engineers who like to build things and dream of bridges and buildings and infrastructure. ME is closer to civil than EE, as CE and EE have nearly nothing in common. EEs do more theoretical engineering, work with power and electricity and magnetism, and are heavy on the programming side. CEs don't really have to program at all but if you can, you will do great in your career.

The way to know if civil vs mechanical vs electrical is for you is the following.
“How to Pick Right Engineering Major” th-cam.com/video/HJEnStKewqo/w-d-xo.html
“What Engineering Major Should I Choose?” th-cam.com/video/Rlc2T177bkw/w-d-xo.html
And if you’re feeling confused about how and when to choose an engineering major, you’re not alone. This is the most common question I get. Here is a detailed way to help you decide.
This is a situation I see pretty often. It’s really hard to know which field to go into within engineering. Continue to work hard and follow your dreams, chase your interests, and make sure to always keep your options open and your optimism up.
There is not "right time" to choose a major, but there is a loose formula for attempting to know the best choice at the time. You have to look at your skills and interests around engineering.There are only three big engineering categories, so lets start there. Each of Civil/Mechanical/Electrical are the only fields in the USA with over 300,000 jobs. Chemical for example, is just 32,600. Biomedical, 19,000. Even Aerospace at 65,000 or Environmental with 55,000 roles are good choices. Either way, let's look at the big three first.
Mechanical. Mechanical Engineers work in a few main categories including machine component and manufacturing design, heating ventilating and cooling systems for buildings, and thermal and fluid systems. If you take apart things and put them back together, want to invent things, 3D print, model stuff, and tinker and build things, then ME may be for you. There can be some programming involved, especially if you start to lean towards the Mechatronics side of the industry, which begins to incorporate more electronics/computer engineering with some programming. But you can avoid a lot of programming if you choose.
Civil. Civil Engineers have five areas of specialty. They design and build buildings and bridges and other structures, transportation systems, geotechnical systems (under the ground), they work with the environment/water resources, and then coastal. Construction Engineering and Management is another similar industry that civil engineers can work in. If you were the engineer building legos, playing sim city, and wanting to build things rather than take apart stuff and put it back together, you could be a civil engineer. You can also be very much less of a programmer and get away with it. I am a civil engineer, and I have essentially zero programming skills.
Electrical. Also called "Electrical & Electronics Engineering". This field is probably the best for the future. Electrical engineer work with electrical power/dist/generation, telecommunications, semiconductor design and manufacturing, signals & controls, aerospace parts and manufacturing, and research and development. Electrical engineering is very different from civil/mechanical because it is theoretical rather than tangible. You cannot see electricity or magnetism, and you cannot see what is happening with circuits or semiconductors. Because of this, EEs take more math and harder math, besides PDEs that mechanical engineers must take like fluid/thermodynamics. But EE is considering the most math and harder math, and because its 100% theoretical, typically an EE can learn ME math and adapt to the physica word easier than a ME or CE can do the other way around. Unlike in CE and usually in ME, EEs must be good programmers too. EEs often can work as software developers or software engineers after university, because they require so much coding skill. This also means EE is the safest for the future, as there are 1.4M software developer jobs growing at a rate of 22% right now. Thats more jobs than CE/ME/EE/IE (industrial engineering is 4th with 285,000 jobs) combined.
Industrial. This would be the 4th consideration, particularly if you are not as good at math, are a better communicator, and want to work more with people other things rather than design or calculations or the "engineering work" within the engineering world. Industrial Engineering is very different from other engineerings in that it considered the entire system perspective, rather than simply optimizing the parts of the systems themselves first, which is what most engineering does. In IE, you must consider the entire system first in order or maximize the sum of the parts. IEs work in manufacturing, human factors, safety optimization to eliminate injury, etc.
Outside of the big 3 and then IE, there are smaller branches like mentioned before. Computer engineering is very similar to EE, Aerospace engineering can be achieved with an ME degree and many AEs go to grad school, chemical engineering is so small that I only recommend it if you are from a very chemical engineering heavy country. Biomedical engineering is very small and in my opinion, should then be avoided for undergrad. Environmental engineering is 55,000 strong, and same thing as AE. You can get into environmental engineering through civil engineering. In fact, my degree is called "Civil & Environmental Engineering" so I could do just that if I want.
There are other small engineering majors too, like materials or petroleum, nuclear and manufacturing, but you can get into any of these my majoring in one of the big 3 and ending up there in your career. Choose one of the big 3, and you will be fine. Does this make sense and help?
I will be making a new how to choose an engineering major video soon, thanks! Let me know what follow up questions you have and I can help you with those, thanks!
I want to be an aerospace engineer with an emphasis in astronautics because I want to push for the future like SpaceX. I find space-travel very fascinating.
Make sure to save a giant glass jar to collect all of your tears. Lol I'm JK it is a very challenging major but I'm so glad I've pushed through. Just 1 more year to go!
Hahahaha your comments are my favorite. I feel proud of you for making it to the end! Ask whatever questions you have here k cheers thanks again!!
I think that is a marvelous career goal - thanks for saying that here. I would do AE if I were a first year engineer right now. I agree. I'm in love with SpaceX type stuff and cannot wait to see what we do with Moon/Mars colonization and all that. Is there anything I can help you with in your engineering career journey? Thanks a lotttt, I respond to every comment, cheers!
Make a video about how to enter the space industry, like whether should we get a degree in aerospace or get a degree in mechanical engineering. Ohh and whether is it possible to get a master in aerospace by having a mechanical degree?
Hey thanks for the comment. Good question. I do have some information on this, these videos will help:

Aerospace VS Mechanical Engineering
Hey thanks for the comment. I get a lot of “Aerospace vs Mechanical Engineering” questions. I support pure aerospace in some situations because there are a pretty good amount of jobs, 66,000 in the USA which puts it at #6 on the list. Especially if you live somewhere with solid AE industry or are willing to relocate, and you are in LOVE with the idea of working in AE for a career. I would do AE if I had to do everything over again. I'd choose AE over Civil.
Seems like a little over 30% of Aerospace engineers have a master's about about half just have a bachelors. datausa.io/profile/cip/aerospace-aeronautical-astronautical-engineering
You can become an aerospace engineer with either avenue, pure AE or ME with a focus in AE as a concentration. It all depends on what you want for your career.
The benefit of doing ME is that it's more broad and you have more options. Sometimes students think they are going to love one sector, and then start a career there and don't like it. That is where the ME would be beneficial. You can always go to grad school in AE if you like to gain an advantage, and possibly find an employer to fund and support that.
The benefit of going for AE in undergrad is that you will have an advantage over MEs if you want to get started with your career right out of undergrad, which is what I recommend. I did not go straight into working after university, and I sort of regret tha myself.
So it's up to you. Some students are 100% set on grad school, and if that is the case, this entire decision matters much less. Also, I do not think people should go out of state and save $$$ and maybe your state doesn't even have any aerospace engineering programs, and you should just do mechanical based on financial reasons. I HIGHLY encourage you and your family to save the $$$ unless you guys are super well off and your parents are going to just pay for all of it.
Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have. I respond to 100% of comments, cheers thanks!
@@JakeVoorhees This does help and makes sense, really appreciate your reply :).
However, I am a Malaysian which means most of the space companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin would not hire me as an employee unless I become a US citizen, this also means I can't really go to an internship at any companies due to my major being restricted in terms of job opportunity and I am not a US citizen right?
Also if I want to be a US citizen this means I need to stay in the US for more than 5 years right? If it is so, do my years as an international student count? so if it counts, I only need one more year to be a US citizen after graduation?
As an international student who wishes to study and work in the space industry but isn't a US citizen, should I get a mechanical engineering degree because it is more flexible which means I could get a job first which is not space-related so at least I could wait till I am able to get into the space industry as a US citizen.
Lastly, about the salary, because when I watch your videos I noticed AE earn more than ME. Does it mean that on average if I get into the space industry as a ME rather as an AE, I world earn less money at the same job and experience?
Anyway, really appreciate your effort on reading my long words and still willing to reply on it.
Love the video
Thanks! Appreciate the comment. What are you up to in your engineering journey/career? Let me know if I can help you with anything - I respond to 100% of comments nowadays. Cheers see you again here soon thankssss
@@JakeVoorhees I’m a civil engineering student at U of I. Currently a sophomore in SHPE looking for a summer internship 😃
@@alfredoguzman8195 niceeee. U of I what? Illinois? Here’s my tips for getting an internship.
Hey thanks so much for the comment/question. The way to get internships or any sort of experience/opportunity or role in general is to reach out to people who already know you who may know someone working in the engineering niche that you are targeting. Examples may be a professor in that niche that you have had in the past, or a leader or officer of an engineering club/society/organization in the field you are focusing on, or someone that your family knows or a family friend, or someone you met at a job fair or conference or event in that niche, etc. Join Engineers Without Borders to get experience - there are local professional chapters you can join even if you are out of school. Go to hackathons to meet people and even build some experience.
Anyone that you know - ask them for introductions to engineers or for informational interview opportunities if they are in engineering now (“Informational Interview Tips“ th-cam.com/video/nxUtpzPHKjc/w-d-xo.html). After that, keep in touch, and then ask about internships and other opportunities. Even volunteer roles nowadays can be a good path to a paid internship. Does that make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have and I’ll try to help. I respond to all comments. Thanks!
@@JakeVoorhees thanks so much for the advice! And I go to Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I’ve joined the Steel Bridge team here, it’s a lot of fun and good experience, definitely going to talk to recruiters at the upcoming career fairs!
Great video man. I watch Shane Hummus lol. You just got a new subscriber. :)
Awesome! Thank you! Are you going to choose engineering? Let me know how else I can help you. I respond to all comments, cheers!
@@JakeVoorhees Yeah Im choosing Electrical Engineering. Should I minor in Software Engineering while majoring in EE?
@@cosmicthunderdoome5250 Nahhhhh, good question - thanks for the comment. But nope you don't need to minor in anything really. It's far more about the networking and what you do on the side for experience, your portfolio, and how many and where you have interned. Plus, there is soooo much programming in EE already, you don't really have to minor in something that is super close what your major will be. I mean, here is the one consideration. Sometimes engineers only have to take like 1 or 2 more classes for something like a math minor, or for EE, say there is a computer engineering minor that you can get with just a few more classes. That is when a minor is an easy decision, but again, no one hires someone because of their minor. Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up or other questions you may have and I can help you with those, cheers! Appreciate you as a part of 1% Nation thankssss
I plan on majoring in chemical engineering, may I get your input on that major? I’m a bit worried about the job outlook after graduation. BTW thanks for correcting shane’s video I knew that his tier list was iffy.
Ya it sucked. Thanks a ton for commenting. It’s hard for me to be very encouraging towards chemical engineering because of how small the industry is. There are only 32,600 chemical engineering jobs in the USA right now. And check this out, “Chemical Engineering was the 66th most popular major in the 2018-2019 school year. Colleges in the United States reported awarding 14,406 degrees in this year alone.” www.collegefactual.com/majors/engineering/chemical-engineering/
So yeah that’s why I’m upset with Shane not looking at what I have started to call “degree saturation ratio” which is exactly this situation. Do you think 14,000 chemical engineers are dropping out of the industry at the same time? No way. So engineers who get that degree are forced to step into some other industry. Process engineering, software development, food engineering, pharmaceutical engineering, petroleum engineering, etc are all avenues that many chemical engineers have to take in order to find a job.
So my attitude is this alright. Maybe you LOVE chemical engineering. Maybe you come from a city or family or culture or country that is heavily invested in chemical engineering. I mean I went to the University of Delaware (President Biden’s alma mater) where the DuPont family invested soooo much into chemical engineering so it’s ranked really high. The engineering building is called DuPont Hall. There were a lot of chemical engineers there and they were super smart. So there are what I would call exceptions.
However, outside of this, I think it’s better to choose a bigger industry like mechanical or electrical or civil or computer science where you can then back door into the chemical industry if you want. Most engineering degrees can get you most jobs. It’s more about experience and who you know and how you market yourself to that role and industry. So my attitude is, why barrow your options with a limiting degree?
I made these videos on chemical engineering to learn more, “What can Chemical Engineers Do?” th-cam.com/video/DGEwoGjMP0M/w-d-xo.html and “Chemical Engineer Interview” th-cam.com/video/5o8QzeIlHuk/w-d-xo.html
Does all this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? And I can help with those. I respond to 100% of comments :) cheers!
15:19 ok you are right that this is not a "hands on" job however from my experience most job opportunities are related to project management as it requires one to be on the construction site, at least 50% of work time.
Thanks for the video. Proud mechanical engineer here. (Finally with a job)
Nice!! Congrats and thanks for the comment. Where did you end up? That’s great I’m really happy for you. Let me know if I can help you with any career advice like getting promotions and whatever you are trying to figure out. I respond to all comments thanks!!
@@JakeVoorhees I was hired for the design of floating houses, but soon I will also do technical office work, development and manufacture of components of said boats. Can you imagine how much i earn monthly? So that you take into account how badly valued engineers are in other countries
Hey thanks for coming back again. Sounds like a pretty cool position. Do you like it? It's hard for me to imagine how much you earn, especially if its another country and another currency. Feel free to let me know so I can compare for you okay? Cheers! and thanks again
@@JakeVoorhees No Jake, thanks you for replying and helping us.
I do like this job, and I'm getting a lot of experience since it is a new company and there's a lot of design and many manufacturing processess to implement.
In my particular case, I am earning about 1300€ (around1600$) per month in Spain. I know it's very little but I was desperate to find a job since around here it's very difficult to find one, even with experience. Therefore I am at a crossroads and I don't know how to approach the issue of a salary increase that I believe is fair, without losing a job position that I honestly like. I have now 2 years of experience as mechanical engineer.
Thank you, cheers!
Could answer this question. Do you think that choosing electrical engineering and computer science as a double major would be better and more efficient than a single major in computer engineering?
Im so glad i found this channel
Nice!! I’m really glad you found it too. Thanks for the comment. What are you up to in your engineering journey or career? Let me know any questions you have and I can help you with those. I respond to 100% of comments. Cheers!!
@@JakeVoorhees im currently pursuing an Aerospace engineering degree. I have also been wondering, would you consider making a “Best college minors for Engineering majors” video?
Of-course, the best engineering degree tier list can be made only by the engineer- youtuber! Thanks for letting us know. I am as an HR person always carefully study professions but agree that the best insights can be said only by the professionals who practice it.
Heyyyy thank you so much for the comment. And yes, you're right. Shane and I have been emailing about this video, he knew it was coming, and its all good. I really appreciate the insights. What are you up to in your engineering journey? Let me know if there is anything I can help you with okay? Cheers thanks!
I greatly appreciate this video as it is really hard to trust any of the information Shane gives as it sometimes feels very clouded.
I love this: "Especially today with the internet a 16, 17, 18-year-old student has no clue what they want to do". I am graduate High School right now and planning to attend UT Austin for Electrical/Computer Engineer (still waiting on admissions from Stanford and Columbia). I had participated in VEX & FIRST Robotics Competition for the last 4-years of high school and would love to become a robotics engineer (mechatronics in engineer term), but I had never tried any other field yet, so I am worried that I will lose motivation for engineering and get a ton of debt as I'm figuring out what I am my passion in life. I would love to hear some guidance from real engineers. Thank you for your time and I love this channel ❤!

Can I know what is the most paid engineering field ?
Love your channel from egypt ❤
I'm in my 3rd year, and honestly, I feel I need help. I got into engineering because I wanted to be involved with improving people's lives. Still, I don't know what area to focus on. Plus, I have a hard time retaining the knowledge.
Hey Jake! Can you help me? I’m enrolling to a top university soon. I want to study engineering and I’m leaning more to CS and Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering, CS because it’s broad and is a very good place where my knowledge can grow and also the pay and it being future proof. Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering because I like inventing things, I’m like a dwarf at it and really good at making things plus I have ADHD and I think sitting on a computer for hours will not help me, medication worsens it. What do you think?
Amazing video! Very informative! May I ask a question please? How do you feel about a BSE degree in ‘Engineering Management’? I was thinking about applying...specifically at Arizona State Online. It is ABET accredited. I actually want to go into Hydrology and work more in the labs/research (plan to get Masters in ‘Hydrology and Water Security’). I know I don’t have to go through Engineering to go this route...but I figured I can get the most out of my bachelors with a more ‘valuable’ degree...more then Environmental Science or something...although I think those are wonderful. Just trying to get the most for my bucks. Engineering Management from ASU? 🤔
Thank you in advance! 🤞🏼✨

Hey Jake, I recently heard about Construction Management and I heard that the pay is better compared to Civil Engineering. I was wondering if Construction Management degree considered to be an Engineering degree??
Hey thanks for the comment. So, Construction Management is essentially a branch within CE. You become a construction manager by getting a degree in either construction or civil engineering, and then go on to get your PE and probably PMP certification as well. This sector makes the most within civil engineering, and I know this because I'm using the 2019 ASCE salary report for data on the highest civil engineering salaries. Construction sits at #1 at an industry median of $119,000 base salary. I did a video about construction engineering and you can see that here, as it may help, Construction Engineering sits nearby civil engineering, so make sure you watch this too, “Is Construction Engineering A Good Major | Construction Engineering vs Civil Engineering” th-cam.com/video/HHiBTH4ufYU/w-d-xo.html thanks and let me know any follow up questions you have okay? Cheers!
Hey Jake! You made a "Best Engineering Laptops" video about 3 years ago. Given that Moore's Law exists, could you make another video on the same topic? Thank you!
Yeah I've been meaning to do so, thanks for the comment. Make sure you have the bell turned on okay so you see it when it comes out, cheers and thanks again! Is there anything else I can help you with in the mean time? I respond to everything
@@JakeVoorhees Thanks Jake! I kinda need a little advice here. I'm 18 now. I'm kinda thinking of having my own factory in the future. Do you think Industrial Engineering would aid me in running a factory, and managing it? Or is there another sort of Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, etc.) that would be a better choice here?
I love shane's vids and I think he's spot on in a lot of his videos, but I agree with you that his engineering degree vids are not the best. Sure he has decent knowledge in a lot of areas, but he's not an expert everywhere (except for science-related degrees imo). Sometimes I feel like I should have been an electrical engineering major instead of computer science. Also i was always under the impression that computer engineering was more of a subset of computer science instead of electrical engineering
Hey thanks for the comment. He also doesn't understand that "job count" does not mean "job openings" and miscommunicates this a lot in his videos. Computer Engineering has two branches - hardware and software. A lot of computer engineers end up becoming coders and programmers and software engineers.
Have you seen my computer engineering video, “What Do Computer Engineers Do” th-cam.com/video/hiL-cTbz188/w-d-xo.html ?
And since computer engineering is a subset of Electrical Engineering, this video is good for you too, “What Do Electrical Engineers Do” th-cam.com/video/zRawKI6Qsm0/w-d-xo.html
And a lot of computer or EEs want to work in mechatronics eventually,
“What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do” th-cam.com/video/4YjLZcQRLds/w-d-xo.html
And here is a video on the high paying EE jobs, “Jobs for Electrical Engineers over $100,000” th-cam.com/video/Vi4hkCeNWs0/w-d-xo.html
Does that make sense? I hope this helps. Let me know what follow up questions I can help you with okay thankssss
I was 100% sure I was going to pick Biomedical engineering but this Shane guy really discouraged me, I probably shouldn't even use him as a source since I don't even live in the US. I live in Ireland which is supposedly a good country for Biomedical engineers. Biomedical is the only engineering I'm really interested in, do you think it's worth doing? Also thanks for a great video.
Hey thanks for the comment. Yeah if your country is good for it and you love it, go for it. Our IG manager Rose is from Ireland so I encourage you to DM her and ask about BME in Ireland. It’s @1EngineerNation on Instagram thanks! Let me know what other questions you have okay? Cheers !!
@@JakeVoorhees I really appreciate the response, I'll definitely check that out. After watching your videos I have realized that Mechanical engineering is also a great choice. I was always under the impression that mechanical engineering was only in relation to the automotive industry but you've helped me see otherwise. Mechanical engineering may also be a good option seeing as it is more broad and can lead to more jobs, including those in the medical industry. Thanks again for your great videos.
well he did rank Computer Science in S tier on his other videos
remember, software engineers don't always get coined as "engineer"
Hey thanks for the comment. Sure but there is no way he can omit software engineering from the list, so I mentioned it and didn't like that he excluded it. All good, it's a weird subject you know? There are 1.4M people working in software because there are a TOOONNNNN of people there who don't even have a college degree, not to mention a baller chemical / electrical / computer / software engineering degree that makes them a real software engineer you know?
What are you up to in your engineering journey & career? Let me know if there isn anything I can help you with okay? I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!
YESS! I love this video and hate how Shane just goes over basic BLS numbers. It seems more like his channel is about pumping out as many videos as possible than it is quality.
He is absolutely right when he range computer science as #1 in all of his videos though!
Yup lol. Glad other people are seeing it. And yeah I think he’s graduated from college and making TH-cam into a career, which is fine. His channel is doing great and I’m happy for him. I just don’t want him misguiding future engineers though, so he got this response and it’s been the best release in my channel history!!!
What are you up to in your engineering journey? Let me know what I can help you with and I’ll see what I can do. Cheers thanks! Hope you see you again in another video.
Four months away from graduating with my University of Minnesota Aerospace Engineering B.S. degree (Guidance/Nav/Control/ML focus) with minors in Computer Science and Astrophysics. I’ve gotten offers from places like NASA and Honeywell and interviews at places like JPL, Astranis, and LLNL (interning at Honeywell in sunny Florida, round 2 this summer, at least as of now) so I’m pretty good lol. Grad school next year (the rest of my decisions come out within a couple of months!) and hopefully a job/internship at a SpaceX/Relativity/Rocket Lab/Virgin Orbit/JPL is in my future though! At least once Covid is over, I’ll be able to go to conferences again and network to get jobs at those specific companies!
@@laker4life36 Wooowww congrats for surrrree, this makes me feel really proud of you. It makes me so happy to have people like you in the community here commenting. A lot of comments are things like, "what do you think about mechanical engineering", and thats fine. I love those. And then we have you, who is essentially as successful as you can imagine and most engineers would die to have the list of things you have going on. Good for you for sure, rockstar stuff, Cheers! Listen I feature successful people on the channel like you, I'd love to potentially do something together or use you as an example of success. Is that something that you think you may be interested in? Hope to chat more about that soon, thanks so much for giving me that update. Email me if you want, hello@jakevoorhees.com thanks
@@JakeVoorhees I wouldn't exactly consider myself "successful" yet lol, but if I get accepted to MIT, USC, Georgia Tech, or Stanford for grad school in the next couple of months here or land an internship at a Blue Origin / SpaceX type company, I'd be willing to come on. Ping me in a couple of months! On one of my TH-cam videos or something.
Even though I'm not an engineering major, I absolutely agree that him just using just BLS numbers is a horrible way to pick a future career, wheather it be engineering or the humanities.
There's a lot more to this then just basic statics and how much money that future career makes. I truly believe that this view has a lot due to the worker being less motivated to work, choose a future career just to make money and being bored in the job.
I'm a second year Mechie from a top-notch Engineering university in my country. I have developed interest in Materials Engineering, as you know Materials Engineering is a subfield of Mechanical Engineering, MaterialsE itself has many branches like Ceramic Engineering, Metallurgical engineering, Polymer Engineering Semiconductor engineering,Bio Materials engineering, Nano engineering, Composites Engineering,etc.
So I wanna ask, is Materials sector a good choice scope wise?
I’m having a hard time deciding between CSE and majoring in AI or going to EE and majoring in Computer Engineering.
Hey thanks for the comment. Okay so basically you have to decide how much raw programming you want to do vs the application and integration of that code with either computer or electronic systems. You can have equally awesome careers in either Computer Science / Electrical Engineering / Computer Engineering. As you eluded to in your comment, I am glad you understand computer engineering is a subset of electrical engineering so we don't need to discuss that here.
AI is a very broad field so there is no single answer, but if you are going to major in engineering, then the more you know about computer science, the better. Majoring in CS is probably the absolute best avenue, but either can do, especially electrical engineering because of how closely it sits to computer science. Other skills/subjects that are valuable including mathematics, statistics, data science, and even cognitive science are good subjects to take as electives.
Any engineering degree can put you in a position to pretty much do whatever you want, particularly one that is mechanical or electrical engineering, and again... the closer you are to a skilled programmer, the more your options open up, regardless of you choosing ME/EE/Aerospace/ChemE, etc
Let’s say you go with engineering. I would encourage you to use any opportunity in your engineering curriculum to take a CS or math course that garners some skill that builds momentum for a career in AI. Do the same with your internships - work with companies that do something within AI. Same with the professors you build relationships with, the events you go to and the people you network with, as well as the engineering organizations/societies/clubs that you join.
Once you become super intentional about your career, everything sort of falls into place the way you intend for it to do. And when you decide you're getting bored or you want something else, you can simply shift everything in the above paragraph, and repeat it. I've done civil engineering, into traffic engineering, into intelligent transportation systems, into travel demand modeling, into wedding videography, digital marketing, TH-cam, and even was with a startup for 2 years and featured on ABC's Shark Tank.
You can do whatever you want with an engineering degree :) Does this help?
Let me know what follow up questions you may have and I can try to help with those. Cheers!
PS I also often get questions about what coding languages to learn in order to have a career in AI. For AI momentum, the primary language is 100% Python. Lisp is a legacy language for the industry. Also C++, Java, R, Prolog are all used in the AI industry.
Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!!!
How difficult is it to find a job with an environmental engineering degree compared to getting a degree with one of the big three degrees? I love the idea of working with the environment somehow but am a bit anxious about the job prospects. If I do major in a big three degree, is it difficult to specialize in environmental engineering for certain degrees in particular? For example, how much harder is it for a mechanical engineering degree student to specialize in environmental than it is for an electrical or civil engineering student? Would you recommend flat out majoring in environmental engineering or one of the big three? - A concerned 12th grader (in Texas, but I think I may end up living in North Carolina just because of how beautiful it is there.)
I live in NC and I can say it is definitely a good state. For a mechanical engineering major to specialize in environmental would likely not be possible, so yeah. IF you want to do environmental, stay towards the civil engineering side of things. It might be harder to find an Environmental engineer job simply because there are less of them out there. However if you do the right things, it should not be an issue.
Hey thanks for the great comment. There are 55,000 environmental engineering jobs in the US which puts it in the top 7 engineering types. And it’s likely that your degree, like mine, will be entitled “civil and environmental engineering”. Environmental engineering exists at the undergraduate level, but it’s usually combined with civil.
With a civil & environmental degree, you can focus on environmental engineering in your internships, tech electives, and networking tactics, but lean on civil engineering roles as well when needed. So don’t worry okay.
I would just encourage you towards civil if you’re going for big three. It’s far more likely that as a civil engineer you can work with the environment. Environmental engineering is technically a branch of civil. Mechanical or electrical engineers can work with companies who produce designs or systems for the environment too, but the smartest choice is civil/environmental.
Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have k? I respond to every comment. Cheers!!
My semester starts in the fall, and I chose chemical Engineering bc I live near Texas, where there are a BUNCH of plants. Not sure if this is the right move?...
Yeah hey thanks for the question. So in this video, I do chat about that. How based on your area, if there are a lot of XYZ niche engineering roles, and you like that direction, sure do it. I think thats okay. I live here in DuPont country and there are a lootttt of chemical engineers and they all make good $$ and have cool jobs. You cannot do that anywhere, but yeah Texas is a good place for that. You'll be fine okay, cheers thank you! Let me know what else I can help you with, thanks again! I respond to all comments, later
@@JakeVoorhees Ok, thanks for the reply! I’m deciding between chemical and mechanical engineering as my major. I’m honestly leaning toward mechanical because if I do choose chemical I would be solely dependent on working at a plant down here. With mechanical, there are a lot of different paths I can go! I can still go to a plant if I want to with mechanical engineering. I plan on moving to Texas anyways after graduation, because I feel like there are a lot more engineering opportunities in that area. Again, thanks for the guidance.
@@DukeCommitt Add some computer science to those degrees and you can choose to live wherever you want
I am studying Mechanical and Energy Engineering. Mechanical Engineering with the addition of linear Algebra, differential equations, and several energy related classes like thermodynamics I & II, and more.
doesn't every engineer have those classes by default?
could you please make a video about transport/traffic engineering?
Yeah I really need to, thanks for the comment. I get a lot of requests for this. Is there anything else I can help you with for now? Cheers I respond to everything thankssss

It is! The college that I go to offers so much in health engineering where you get to do sensors, signals, semiconductors and many more
Hello. I am going to have to pick which type of engineering major to go into pretty soon. My coding skills are relatively poor but I am pretty good at math. If electrical engineering isn’t suited for me, out of the remaining big two which one should I pick?
You would have to define your interests. ME has less coding, but you will still have to learn MATLAB at some point in your career, if you go this route. Combine your interests with a major that is general/broad and you will be good to go.
Which one is better in terms of scope, job opportunities and high pay scale? Electrical engineer or Electronics Engineer?
Damn you crunched hummus
Crunch wrap supreme!!! That’s for the comment lol. Let me know what engineering questions you have and I can help you with those k? Cheers and hope to see you again on the comments!

I’m going into college next yr and I’m interested in working in construction. Do you recommend getting a civil engineering or structural, or architectual engineering degree? Also after getting a bachelors do you recommend getting a construction management degree? or maybe an mba?
Hey great question. So you should get a civil engineering degree, or even like my alma mater, University of Delaware, sometimes you can find bachelors degrees in Construction Engineering. But just do civil if that is what is available to you, and focus your concentration on construction and yes project management courses. You will end up getting your PE most likely as well as yes your PMP certification.
MBA is more for the white collab C-Suite sort of avenue, which is not what you will need in construction management / construction engineering, at least not right away. Either way, my suggestion is to get out of bachelors and get to work right away. Work 4-5 years, take the PE, and then decide what you want. It's very normal for young engineers to want to create a plan farrrrr before its the right time to make that plan, and far before you even know if you like the field / focus / sector / whatever.
I have this video on Construction Engineering, where I interviewed the professor at UD, Dr. Small, on this topic, “Is Construction Engineering A Good Major | Construction Engineering vs Civil Engineering” th-cam.com/video/HHiBTH4ufYU/w-d-xo.html. I think it's a great field if you like it. Super support that. Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have k? I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!
