Hello everyone, within the next year I will be attending college. My goal for myself is to become an inventor - of products, and of services. I've had some ideas I would like to begin executing and creating. Mostly everyone I've talked to says I need a degree "to fall back on" or to look credible with.. I have considered becoming an engineer and taken many engineering classes offered at my school gaining certification and plan to get another one this year. But with all these engineering classes they all tell me of how good of an employee I could be.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, many of my neighbors are scientists or engineers due to the laboratory that is very close to where I live. Many of them have told me that if I become an engineer mainly a mechanical engineer then I could score a good job there or elsewhere for decent money. I'm not looking for decent money but I want more and to make more of an impact to the world around me.<br />
<br />
I've followed more towards what is said in The Millionaire Fastlane but I also take in consideration what the engineers I know have said. I don't know who to listen to and I'm very confused for my route. I'd rather listen to the guy who's made millions rather than my neighbors playing keeping up with the Jone's renovating their backyards nonstop while they're overleveraging their homes.<br />
<br />
My Dad has explained that I don't necessarily have to become an engineer if I get a degree, but rather learn from it and open myself to that form of critical thinking. But I've already began understanding and empathizing various problems in my community that could take solutions. And it isn't like the engineers really know either because they get handed a problem and told to find a solution for most.<br />
<br />
I have to go to college, it isn't for negotiation for my family and I have made many college credits while in HS. I've begun looking at ideas that can become a solution for many problems, and already have the mindset. If you were in my situation would you think that getting an engineering degree or a business degree be more impactful and important to my goal of being an inventor and problem solver?
