Well internships and co-ops are what engineers do. I expect to be treated like shit and do grunt work but you never know. All that matters is getting experience to put on my resume. Then I can get a better internship and put that on my resume.
The only job I had before college was a waiter/bus boy at a wine bar, and I don't work at all when I'm in school.
Money isn't a huge issue for me, I just want the experience. I posted the average internship monthly salaries for MEs from Umich on some forum here. That would be more than enough for me.
Must be nice to be a rich white boy, from a rich white boy family.

I'm not that rich at all, believe me. My family, my dad especially, was just really smart with his money in terms of saving up for my tuition.
At this point in my life being a white male isn't helping me at all haha

He's kind of right, Woody. I envy you for having your dad save up money for your tuition. I'm probably in 100k in student debt, not that it matters. I'll have MD next to my name someday and it'll pay off, but I can't imagine being poor and wanting to study something that isn't science.

Yeah it must be nice I had to serve all through school for an electrical engineering degree that bought me shit. Only ten years in am I really reaping any benefits. My friend who has a degree in chemical engineering from case had to move to Minnesota for a good job. So I hope your education gets you what you hope for.

I'm just kidding. I know Strongsville is not wealthy, it's right down 82 about 4 miles from where I live. I sent my daughter to college, but she still needed some loans. She got her BA from Penn St. and Masters from Duquesne, I probably forked over over 70,000 for her education though. And now she makes good money, married a guy who makes good money and lives in Philadelphia.

I think I'll be fine. There's always going to be a need for doctors, and MD/PhD's are hard to come by.

You got that right Vapor. You must be one smart SOB, and I'm not kidding.

I'm still stupid enough to root for the Browns. Also, I'd like to point out that it's badass you helped pay for your kid's education.

Oops. Your comment is spot on though. An engineering degree isn't the safety net it used to be. A few CME's I know struck gold by getting jobs with Marathon, BP, etc, but I know many more who were on the job hunt for quite awhile and ended up taking the first (unrelated) job they could get.

I just watched the video. I've been playing video games since I was 2, and it started with the original super mario bros, for me. Since then I got into computer gaming, and played a SHIT TON. I was on one of the best Call of Duty (back when it was realistic, now it's a piece of shit arcade fragfest) squads during high school. I also was one of the fastest runners in Ohio, and made it to a state meet in high school. The time I spent on the computer wasn't wasted. I learned some basic programming while I was at it and a little bit of 3d modelling. If I totaled up all the hours I've spent playing video games, I wouldn't be surprised to see it be around 5 years. If you're enjoying yourself, that time isn't wasted, given one stipulation; don't let it consume you. Work hard. Study hard. Play hard.

I'd imagine just about anybody with perseverance can go to college and do well assuming they put in the time and effort. I would also guess that if 1 has to earn that money they might well work and try harder than if it were a gift.

I guess. But given the unemployment rate nationally for engineers and the number of companies that flock to Michigan's engineering career fairs, I'm not that worried about finding a job after college.

There are little pockets of Strongsville with money, but not where I live.
I mean, we're not poor, but we're not rich either.
