At height of the Industrial Age, Engineering was the job to have, and Engineers carried with them an enviable mystique and an aura of capable intelligence. Today the Industrial Age may be nothing more than a bygone era, but Engineers are still in wide demand.
Engineering is a huge sector, and working as an Engineer requires thorough training. You can choose from many branches and disciplines -- mechanical engineering, civil engineering, audio engineering, chemical engineering, and electrical engineering. Some of these industries require you to earn professional certification before you can practice your profession. Besides your degree and professional certification, your skills and level of expertise will determine the best opportunities for you on the job market. You can work in London, Edinburgh, Manchester, or in any city throughout the UK. But if you have no technical aptitude at all, maybe you shouldn’t work as an Engineer.
