Pursuing an Engineering degree + working part time, is it hard?

We Answered:

Engineering programs are VERY demanding. And, it makes little sense to pursue studies if you can't earn at least a 3.0 g.p.a. Given that you plan to do engineering and thus are pretty much guaranteed a decent job when you get out (assuming you make the 3.0 or higher mark), I'd do as much as you can with loans and help from your dad. That way you can concentrate on your studies and do better. I see far too many students take on too much and then do poorly in the classes, which is a mistake because you're paying so much to take the classes.

One strategy that works very well for a lot of engineering folks-- and that will help you A LOT when you go looking for a job at the end-- is to find internships (most of which are paid) during the summers. Most engineering folks work full-time at paid internships or temporary jobs during the summers, and this work gives them a huge boost once they're looking for a permanent job. Sometimes you can even find a company that will hire you every summer. Search early for internships and apply as high as you can-- to the best companies that you can. I think that will serve you best.

Computer engineers, especially, are in heavy pursuit. You'd be even more competitive if you did an internship in a setting where you'd need a security clearance b/c government jobs (or jobs with contractors who work for the government) are very plentiful. My cousin is a VP at Booz-Allen, and he's ALWAYS trying to find good talent to hire. He encourages my younger cousins to do computer engineering. You can be making about a $100,000/year before too long. That'll pay off a lot of loans really quickly.

Stick with federal loans (not private, higher interest loans). You can consolidate loans when you graduate and can arrange for graduated payments (so that you pay more as you begin to make more). Keep your costs as low as possible. If you're first in your family to go to college, make that clear to the university to which you apply and look for scholarships-- there is a lot of support out there for first generation college students.

Good luck to you!!
