Hi my name is Marco,
I live in South Africa and currently studying a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering. I first decided on mechanical because I enjoyed cars and learning how machines work. But after 2 years into the degree, I have started to lean more towards changing to industrial, as the mechanical side isn't exactly what I had in mind (not that I'm saying I find it hard, it's just industrial seems more me). I like the industrial part, because optimizing has always been a strong passion of mine, and other business aspects of industrial also interest me. But, I also still enjoy the mechanical aspects such as drawing in CAD, etc. I've heard that all engineers become managers, just that IE's become managers quicker, is this true?
Am I making the right decision by changing to industrial?
