Salary: 70,000-100,000$

Education: 4-year bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university. This is generally the basic requirement for entry-level jobs in the career. While pursuing their bachelor’s degree, students take classes in a range of fields, including physics, mathematics, designs and computer science. Certain programs also require core courses in the humanities, in areas such as English or philosophy. After graduating from a bachelor’s in engineering program, engineers in all 50 states must obtain a Fundamentals forEngineering license by passing a rigorous exam. Engineers who complete this step become engineers in training, or EIT’s, or engineer interns, also known as EI’s. EIT’s become eligible to take the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam after they've fulfilled the state requirement for work experience, which in most states is four years.

Reflection: I would love to become an Automobile because I love anything to do with cars and this was always one my future jobs I always wanted. 

I am waiting patiently because I am almost going to be able to drive & cars to me are the best thing and I really enjoy them. That is why I am going to study to become an Automotive Engineer and hopefully become really successful in my life. I always wanted a 1990 Mustang Gt 5.0 for my first car and that is one of my goals and I’m always thinking about it and wondering when I’m ever going to be able to drive. I know that if I’m patient and keep making it my top goal, I will soon be able to have one for myself and I would be able to finally put a “Victory” sign on that goal.

Football Team Reflection

Keith was a young boy who had a special need and the school football team stopped like a yard behind the touchdown line so they could give Keith the ball so he could make a play so he can make a touchdown and they can make him feel part of the team and make everyone see he can also do what others do and make them show that you don’t have to be like others just to be popular you just have to be yourself and have kindness to others. I think they did the right thing because I think everyone should always have the same opportunities and Justin never thought he would ever let someone else take his touchdown but he noticed that it wasn’t the touchdown that mattered, it was the emotion and the great feeling to let someone else score when they also wanted to and he will get paid with more respect and with the same type of kindness he treated Keith and that great opportunity he gave him.
