If you are an engineer, what is the advantage if you can also work by hand?

Engineers use all the senses in their work,  not just the hands and mind,  thats why they are the best of the best

Without trying to be too biased, I think a good way to put it is that Engineers are a very no-nonsense group.  They work logically, and can get frustrated if something isn't being done logically or efficiently.  They can sometimes be less approachable than others, but usually are very easy to work with and get along with.  When working with engineers, remember that they are excited by finding solutions to problems or improving things from their existing state.

Check out Stephen's answer, he's right. Left handers have a great advantage because it's the left hand that does all the hard work. No need to muck about with the strings, especially if you're starting from scratch -- get a good teacher.

pros- work at your own pace\ncons- hard to get handson experience, can't hear the lectures, ask professors in person

Advantages compared to what apparatus?? Please be precise...

This is difficult.  Usually you'd work as an engineer for a number of years and develop friends and contacts in the industry before forming your own business (so you'll have customers).  The other approach is to do contract engineering (small engineering jobs) and develop a reputation.  Some regions of the country prefer not to hire outside consultants and would prefer to hire only employees, so consider the business culture of the region.  If you wanted to start a 'firm' (multiple employees) you should already have secured a customer (it is comparitively easier to hire the additional engineers when you need them).

Some of the advantages are that a CNC (Computer Numerical Code [a computer controlled variant]) Mill can give incredibly accurate machined surfaces, edges and bolt patterns, and can reproduce that exact piece over and over, with barely a noticeable difference in one piece over another. Most differences come from irregularities in the stock or casting you want to machine. Mills can cut gears, ream key-ways or bore holes, make manifolds ... it goes on and on. There are different kinds of mills; there are the manually operated ones that take much care in setup and production of each piece, to single head mills with a battery of tools to do multiple operations, but only in one axis, to multi head, multi angle mills, which are like a legion on gnomes attacking a piece of metal, doing multiple operations at once, from shaping (all Mills can do this) one surface while another head is drilling and tapping holes, and yet a third is boring on another axis. The main disadvateges are that most mills in my experience are not very good at machineing round or spherical stock to a round or sphereical finished product, you use lathes for that. Another is the size, even a small mill can require about 3 meters square for setup and auxilliary equipment. Another drawback is the cost. These things aren't cheap and they use lots of electricity.

They outsource a lot of projects so they will be able to keep you busy, and they have good processes.\n\nHowever, I have heard from a friend that they don't pay extra hours and require them in all their people, so you need to consider if that is worth it for you.

Chances are you can, but what would the recipient benefit from it? Not learning it,unless one does the work by oneself. Helping is one thing, but don't have someone else do it for you.

1a.  Since blasting is going to create instability in the surrounding material for a greater distance, digging will produce the more stable tunnel.  Assume you are depending upon the natural surroundings to support the shaft and not introducing artificial shoring.\n\n2a.  Technically since work is defined as the amount of force required to move a mass through a distance, both will be performing the same amount of work.  Benefit will be gained by the conveyor system which can essentially move material 100% of the time if it can be loaded continuously.  To achieved the same with cranes and trucks, there would have to be enough cranes so that a full load was constantly moving up the shaft.\n\n3.2.  Not sure what a "gigantil fisility" is let alone if one can be constructed of "concreat".  Also the debris being removed from the shaft may not be suitable component of "concreat".  Best option would be to sell it or give it away.  Probably some big holes around that could be filled in.\n\nConstructing a gigantic facility out of concrete might even be an option if you had enough Portland cement and the shaft debris was a suitable aggregate.

Advantage - you don't have to do the maintenance on the outside.\n\nDisadvantage - you have to pay association dues and the association decides when maintenance is done and by whom.

I helped people in my area with odd jobs. I charge 10$hr weather I was doing yardwork or Addressing envelopes.1hr min.It is a great way to get involved.10$ isn't alot but it's under the table and you are doing a good deed.Some are elderly or in recovering and need help with simple things like lifting or bending.Great insight on the world around you to.

Yes my brother is a mechanical engineer.  You can find work in almost every state.

I work for myself and here are what I enjoy best:\n\n1. The freedom to pursue my own vision\n2. The control and flexibility I have over my own time: I work when I want to and don't work if I don't want to\n3. The opportunity to learn more: there's a million things I didn't know before that I am forced to learn\n4. The tremendous challenges faced as a business owner and the joy when you overcome them\n5. A sense of pride and fulfilment in accomplishing things\n6. The joy of teaching and sharing with others what you've learned in entrepreneurship\n7. The confidence you gain in knowing that you can do it\n8. The ability to earn more than what I could earn as a salaried employee. If I work harder and smarter, I can earn more dollars whereas as an employee no matter how hard you work, you only receive your base pay plus some bonuses.\n9. Profits of the business go to ME (or my business entity) not to the big corporate machine\n10. You never get bored: every day is a new challenge, new tasks and new discoveries

You get street smarts much sooner,and if you work in a business for example you get a lot of advantage,since you learn business by doing business and not by taking courses about business,and the same principle applies to a lot of other majors,so a lot of times,it has many + benefits.

You will have to come up with a really unique differant idea, because a manual lathe is the same as labor intensive, and computer control (CNC) machines today can make a part in seconds compared to what you can do in hours,  I wish you all the luck and maybe you can come up with something. The machine you have is better for some kind of small repair work,  where someone needs a small part right now..but that isn't steady work..
