[QUOTE="harry gilbert, post: 8643953, member: 4763"] I have been an industrial engineer for more than 30 years, and have also been involved in the use of computers to facilitate job estimating, plant routing and scheduling, and computer aided design. I have also worked with mechanical engineers to design and architect process ventilation and design for manufacturability systems, and have written software to simulate the movement of parts and materials in manufacturing and assembly plants. The past several years I have focused on coaching and mentoring business analysts to achieve better results in identifying enterprise problems / solutions, re-engineer business processes, and define software requirements. Also wrote medical billing software and worked with several major healthcare provider systems. Certainly there were periods of tedium, but overall the work has been exciting and rewarding. I got into many different industries, worked in many plants, and worked with some very brilliant and interesting people to solve complicated problems. In the beginning, I jumped from employer to employer (about every 2-3 years), but worked for one employer for the last 24 years until the company was acquired in a merger and about 27,000 positions were eliminated. Now I am an independent consultant, with my own company. My advice is to stay flexible, and don't be afraid of change. Most of the MEs I know slogged through the tedium, and then moved into project management and supervisory positions. If you will be an ME, may I suggest you join a local SME chapter.
