      Because in my opinion, it can be the best, most rewarding job there is.
      In engineering you get to make things, not just numbers on a screen, but actual physical things.
      There are so many different branches of engineering that it gives you the opportunity to change your profession without having to retrain.

      Adding to Stephen and Carmel, because you can actually make things that can help people or the world.
      Also, it’s pretty fun!

      Because the world needs more engineers to tackle all the problems we have as a society and I think it is a very diverse, exciting and rewarding career choice.
