In engineering ,doing diploma or foundation would be more appropriate for a middle class student?

It has been proven that people with degrees, in the long term, make a lot more money than other people. In addition, school tuition, say for Mechanican engineering (and just tuition, not living expenses) is maybe $50,000 depending what school you go to. However, starting slaries for Mechanical Eng. is $50,000-- So you get your investment back after a single year, on the second year, its all net gain. Plus, you have more job security with a degree, and in Engineering, you get more freedom because you only are a Licensed engineered if you have experience + a degree. No degree = no license.

Yep.  Old school is a good thing.  You might actually learn something.  Finance is going to be really important if you're going into business, and to be successful in this class, you'll need to actually understand the concepts somewhat.  Just grab a little extra caffeine before class so you'll stay awake.

Well, I am a little biased because my degree is in engineering, but I work in business, so I hope I can give my perspective.\n\nI have never used my engineering degree in my job, but I don't regret earning it at all.  It was a tremendous task for me to complete it, and I struggled.  Boy, did I struggle.  Engineering degrees are harder, by far, than business degrees.  However, they do command higher salaries (generally). \n\nI would recommend an engineering degree, however, not for the monetary reasons, but because of how much it expanded my view of the world.  I learned soooo much, even as a C student!  And I feel that every day my understanding of the world grows because of the base I was given in my engineering degree. \n\nI feel that you can learn about business through your work experiences, and by picking up a few choice seminars or books.  So I feel that the money and time spent on a business degree is not well spent.  Most business skills can be self-taught (in my opinion).  I don't think the same can be said for engineering.  It could be done, I'm sure, but I think many of the techniques and skills require resources that aren't available to the average person.  So I think you get more value out of the engineering classes.  \n\nThe adults in engineering did far better than the college age kids, but it will be hard, just the same.  \n\nAlso, engineering seems to be more of a level playing field.  When interviewing in engineering, your degree and skills are evaluated, but when interviewing in business I felt that I was being evaluated more on my personality and if I'd "fit in". \n\nGood luck to you in either case.

aerospace engineering is the best option

Keep in mind I'm in chemical engineering, and this is just my opinion.  Compared to the more common engineering fields of study (mechanical, electrical, material, chemical, industrial), textile engineering gives you a more narrow focus.  Therefore, you'll have less flexibility when looking for jobs/further education.  However, you'll be a scarce commodity which makes you more attractive for the companies that need textile engineers.

What you have chosen sounds good. In the overall scheme of things it doesn't matter a great deal what else you choose since you are only in 11th grade. Just make sure you continue with sciences and continue to do very well in them. Universities look at how well you do in your courses, not so much at which courses you do, as long as you have the required ones. And you have the required ones if you have the math, the sciences, and English. The only ones I would recommend are a psychology course and/or a statistics course if they are available to you in high school.  And I really don't think that fast track matters either - take your time and get a good foundation.\n\nGood luck with your future plans.

there are more options for "poor" people than middle class people. i only got 200$ from TAP because my parents made "too much" money as clerical and factory workers.... never mind they're barely heating our house right now cuz they're so poor....\n\nlook into federal assistance, TAP, Perkins LOan, Stafford LOan. they will help you with federally subsidized loans which have a lower interest rate than private loans. if your serious about your education and do graduate, your student loan payments might be around $145 a month if you consolidate. \n\ngo to a community college and get the associates first, it is much cheaper than going to a four year school right off the bat... would probably save you like 15 grand or more. then transfer to a four year school.\n\ni owe $35,000 for my undergrad (on top of scholarships i recieved and some help from my parents!)and by the time im finished with my masters will be over $60,000. will be paying back for the rest of my life. you can't just have money handed to you. take the initiative and do it yourself. i bet you'll do better in school too if you have to pay for it on your own.\n\nthere are ways to make education a possibility. all you have to do is go out and look. i applaud your desire to graduate.  best of luck.

Sorry but our views differ.ICSE helps in a better way for future.And u don`t need to wrk very hard if u can do it in a simpler way.

If you can afford it and get into one, then going to a 4 year right out of school is the way to go. Usually 2 years are cheaper, for people who don't have the grades, or people who don't feel ready for a 4 year school. In the end, the diploma will say the 4 year school's name anyway. However, sometimes you take classes at a 2 year and they don't transfer to the 4 year so it was a waste of time. Good luck!

Whether you do one or both majors depends a lot on the workload. I recommend trying to take both, but if you think it'll be too hard, you can probably just do education and have a concentration in English.\n\nAnd I imagine that you can. My dad got a degree in Computer Science but went on to get his Masters in Engineering. I don't know if all fields do the same thing, but I can't see why they wouldn't. However, I imagine it'd be far more difficult to get into a program without an education degree or extensive teaching experience--the latter of which could put you back a number of years. \n\nIt depends entirely on what you think you can handle, but my view is to go at it as strongly as you can--try to get the most out of your time. If, in the end, you could only get one, then oh well. At least you took courses for the other one and have the knowledge you gained. Besides, if you go for both you can always drop one later if you change your mind, but if you go for one and want to pick up the other, it'll be far more difficult.\n\nBut whatever you end up doing, make sure it's fun. Not just the end result, but the path you need to take to get there. If it's not fun, well... Then what's the point, right? =)

Well, my Dad was first an engineer, then became a lawyer.  Congratulations on choosing some noble professions - either is good in my opinion.  Both are a challenge!  The United States (where I assume you are) is said to have a shortage in both of these areas.  So, I applaud you fr pursueing one of them.  Sorry, I do not have better information on which may pay you better.  My advice is that you choose the one you have more enthusiam for and intuition.  Good luck!

yes, if u have the money. discipline is the most important in studying you know. have study habit. good luck!

Try searching the topic on yahoo.com and see what comes up.  Try industrial vs. classical education.

That depends on your personal strengths. Physics has always been easier for me.

When the oil business cratered in the 1980's, many engineers retrained into environmental. There were also gov't subsidies to retrain.\n\nAny engineering degree is a 4-yr degree, otherwise you are a Tech. \n\nThe amount of money depends on where you go to school. I live in Oklahoma, where the oil used to be, but where many colleges still have good curriculum. Private universities are ten times the cost of State schools, like OU and OSU, and the Junior Colleges are even cheaper.\n\nThere are many grants available. Check at your local library. At the very least, you can get low-interest loans. \n\nDon't worry about the money to get started. Just get started. You may need money to live on to attend school full time, but work on getting funding first. A free ride while attending school is what you're trying to do. \n\nThere is a reason some colleges cost more. You get what you pay for. The major schools employ the genius, while the lesser schools employ those who are just beginning, or haven't made a particular mark. You want to be taught by the best you can afford. Do not scrimp or cut corners on your education. Challenge yourself. It will reward you for a lifetime.

I'd suggest economics.  If you are not too far along in college, you could probably give up enough electives so the double major wouldn't extend the time it takes to get a degree.

Academic pedigree.  Don't let anyone tell you that it doesn't matter.  It does.  Where you did your undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral work counts.  And with whom counts.  It would also help if you already had some independent funding set up.  Theoretical fields are harder to get funded, and money talks loudly.
