Message	Positions are very attractive to companies because they get you right out of school for (relatively) short money. There are many facets to a ME degree, and many paths you can explore once you have it. You can concentrate on testing, design or manufacturing, or any combination of the three. Having a technician/technical background only helps you in the field. The only perceivable downsides are as follows: * Many (if not all) companies are cost driven, so much of your work will be finding a balance between quality, performance and cost. * You will likely be working with China, Mexico, India or another low cost country for your production work. This can make you want to stab a baby seal. Good luck in whatever you choose.
