Its a very big level of effort to get an engineering degree and pass your professional engineering exam. Assuming you are in North America its about a 4 year process. As such there are large opportunity costs and I don't know many engineering programs that are evenings and weekends though I am sure they exist...
- svnt 5y agoYeah but if they’re motivated by learning new things better to learn new things while staying highly profitable, else they’ll just burn out again in the new field. The problem is the job structure.
- boringg 5y agoAgree it sounds like the job structure isn't supportive hence causing burnout. I will say though that after working in software the desire to work in the physical world to make physical things can be a real lure. So I understand the core question of switching to physical engineering work. It also provides a lot of understanding of how the physical world works which computer engineering doesn't provide.
