This topic sounds like it should be the very first post to begin my project, but somehow I want this post to be the last post of my final project to conclude what I have learned about this major. First off, I want to tell a little bit about why I choose mechanical engineer as my major. Many people asked me why I choice mechanical engineer as my major? I always give them the same answer; because I think I will be good at it. The main reason came from a very long time ago. When I was five-six years old, my teacher asked me: what do I want to be when I  grow up? I think for a little bit and answered her: “I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up, but I want to change the world”. And I trusted and follow what I said because a five-six years old boy couldn’t come up with something like that, I believe that is something that came from his heart. Well, mechanical engineer doesn’t really have a connection with that answer but the thing is I have this thought in mind that “everything is connected” which if I do a very small act, it could impact the world, or it can change the world in some way or another. Which mean that I already achieved my dream millions of times. I know it sounds crazy, and I don’t really know if anyone thinks the same way as I do but if you do, man that would be so cool. I know this is supposed to be my final project, but I really having fun right now; writing down what is in my mind. Career is something that is very important and one of the most time spendings in everyone life because from a very young age we started learning how to write how to read, speak and many more. Well that is something everyone needs as a human but the other reason is to have a career, and we spend a couple of decades learning to do that, then after learning it, we spending almost the rest of our life with that career. Let’s get back to the topic now. So overall, a mechanical engineer requires over a hundred credits, math, and physic are the most common courses I need to take. A mechanical engineer is required to have at least a bachelor degree or higher, which is five years of college or more. The job available for mechanical engineer will be always available. The money needed to have a mechanical engineer is around $100,000.00-$200,000.00, and the average income is around $80,000.00. That is all about mechanical engineering.
