[|Video of what an Engineer might help create/design]

I think that this career is for me because I like math and science and those are some key things that you need to be able to do. I also really like creating and designing new things. My favorite part about this job is that you get to create and design things and tools that you will be using on a daily basis. My least favorite part is that you have to use a computer for a lot of the day and I don’t like using computers a lot. I would be okay with it if we only used the computer a little but I don’t want to use it a lot. Also one of my favorite things about this job is that you get to see what you created and see how many people use it. Say you build a parking lot than you aren’t very happy with your work. But then you see other people using it and liking the design. So it makes you happy. That is why I would want to have this job. This career would probably be best suited for some who always likes being perfect and needs everything to be to scale. I think you would also need to be very open minded when designing something you need to take in all the aspects. The last thing you would need to be good at is math and science because there is a lot of math in the measuring and building of your product. I think that people who can’t work with others or aren’t good at math and science won’t be able to do this job. You need to be very smart to be able to do this job because there is a lot of geometry involved with the design of buildings. In all, the biggest requirement is working with others and very perfective.
