No, this isn't a job posting for employment but if you’re an engineer currently employed in some capacity in the automotive industry, please read on.
My son will be going to college next year and he has expressed an interest in “automotive engineering”. I’m not quite sure if that’s an “official” degree or not, but that’s what he says he’s interested in. His high school guidance counselor hasn't been much help since she has mostly general information and nothing specific for the automotive field. So, I figured I would go directly to the source and see if I can help him get some first-hand information directly from engineers currently working in the field.
What I would like to do is find engineers currently working in the automotive industry for him to speak with. It doesn't matter if your degree is in mechanical, electrical, or some other discipline as long as your job is related to the automotive industry. If you can offer some insight on what you do in your job, what path led you to your current position, what education/degree you have that enabled you to get your current job, and what opportunities exist in your field, I would be extremely grateful.
If you would be willing to speak directly with him/us by telephone or Skype that would be fantastic. Even though it might be a little cumbersome, if email would work better for you that would be fine too.
So, if you think that you can offer some information and insight on the field of “automotive engineering” and might be interested in possibly helping enlighten and guide a kid’s future career, drop me a PM and we’ll see if we can set something up.
Thanks.
