degree: BS in mechanical engineer w/ minor in materials engineering
Work for Hamilton Sundstrand - aerospace w/primary focus on JSF
I set up and reques engine tests to be completed to gather strain or vibration data on various components. Once the test has been completed the data is then process and reviewed. Most of the data I have worked with is then used for bench testing to qualify the parts for flight release. Other in my group also run anlysis (Ansys, etc) on tubes, actuators, etc which is what I want to get into.

Cobra, Elky, zgendron, Brapple are mechanical engineers (I think there's a few more in NECEG, sorry if I excluded you). Cobra has his MET from attending 5 years at Northeastern University. 5 years instead of 4 because of their co-op program. Brapple makes hella coin, from what I hear.  If you really have a passion for cars, I'd say mechanical engineering is up your alley.

Thats why I made this post. I am trying to get a good understanding on all the different fields. Right now I am currently doing test engineering.
He wants to be the kind of engineer that makes enough money to buy something better than a contour

No... I'm trying to decide on a direction.

Degrees:
1) Bachelors Degree in Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering
2) Masters Degree in Computer Engineering
Work:
Lockheed Martin - Systems Integration in Owego, NY (Home of the next Presidential Helicopter)
I work as a Systems Engineer on the A-10 aircraft doing a lot of IRAD stuff right now. The big thing I am kind of the head of right now is integrating a new missile that has never been fired off of a fixed wing aircraft (other than the predator which flies a lot slower)
Best thing I can say is go with what interests you the most. With my interest in cars and mechanical ability I could have easily done Mechanical Engineering as well, but I enjoy being an Electrical/Computer Engineer a little more.

Job: Associate Thermal Mechanical Engineer (for Intel) -> fancy way of saying I have he skills/experience to be an engineer, but not the 4 year degree
Work: R&D of thermal energy management for next generation computing electronics. Most of which centers around cooling solutions for CPUS & chipsets. I get to play with new CPU's long before they are released.
School: ASEE and AAS in Physics

Do you want information from people that have "engineer" degrees, or people that have "engineer" in their title? I'm a storage engineer but don't have a degree. In fact, I have only been to college to take an entrance exam. I hear that storage engineers make a lot of money.  Storage engineer means architecting data storage solutions, and sometimes implementing them. Think of a hard drive the size of a minivan.

BS in Aerospace Engineering
I'm in engine integration. Since the engines touch pretty much every system on the aircraft I get to see a little bit of everything. Our group gets involved with maintenance procedures, accident investigation, human factors concerns, software integration, and physical integration of different systems (electrical, hydraulic, ECS, fuel and structures). Being on the production side of the house also gives me a chance to be around real planes instead of just sitting in front of a computer all day.
