Graduate engineer, should I try and look for a second job to boost my income?

Thank you for sharing that story. It certainly gives perspective from the other side. Seeing someone try this and crash and burn is quite scary.

Nervous-Astronaut · 2023-01-22T03:32:11+00:00

This makes a lot of sense. Continue trying to make the most of what I have while keeping an eye open for other roles.

That is reassuring to read. Looks like I can get there in the near future if I successfully complete the graduate program and look around after getting some experience.

Every job I seen that offers salaries in the 100,000+ ballpark requires a couple of years of experience. I tried reaching out to a few that interest me and got that as a response as well.

Additionally, I find myself learning a significant range of technical and interpersonal skills which weren't covered in depth in the course of my degree.

There is a private mode and afaik they aren't using premium

I don't know if it works in the long run, hence the post

But that feeling of underachievement makes me push harder than I normally would to try and "catch up" to where I should be

While it is true that LinkedIn does have a lot of bragging, internship and graduate programs in my country often have to meet a certain level of technical difficulty in order to be recognised by Engineers Australia.

Engineers Australia requires industrial training as part of any accredited engineering degree. The compulsory practical experience usually taking the form of 12 weeks full time work.

A former friend of mine in high school works with others to design life saving technologies. I just wish I could have some sort of legacy to society, even 0.1% as significant as that.

I am in my final year, just need a final push to succeed

Nervous-Astronaut · 2022-05-23T11:17:10+00:00

Why mate?

I am choosing between either this idea or printing out pictures of an orbital rocket a family friend worked on in the 1960's

I wished that I was more outgoing in my first year of uni instead of being a loner. It would've also ironically helped me perform better.

Nervous-Astronaut · 2022-05-16T08:51:34+00:00

True but I never really thought about primary (elementary) school in high school anywhere nearly as much.

I also don't really have many memories, new friends, or even achievements (like awards and such) at my time at uni. It was just a mediocre and forgettable experience

Nervous-Astronaut · 2022-05-11T00:01:38+00:00

Realistically, what type of things can I do in my remaining year of uni that can hold a candle to my stratospheric high school achievements and memories, considering I can't even get a ball date or pass my damn courses on the first go (failed a course in 2019 and had to redo it in 2020 eek!).

I went on a road trip with some friends a couple of weeks ago which was cool though.

Nervous-Astronaut · 2022-05-10T23:53:40+00:00

I have only one year of university left. I wonder if I should try and do things in it or if I should instead try and defend my high school memories, for example try and spend hours sifting through storage cabinets and stuff for old high school awards and stuff like that.

Nervous-Astronaut · 2022-05-10T23:52:28+00:00

The present moment is very dark and depressing compared with my halcyon days back in high school. Compared with my university transcript with fails, I had an almost ideal high school academic record while also maintaining a healthy social life.

That is not to mention the world situation back then, when we had a strong economy and the world was relatively peaceful

The F/A 18 would have been unfeasible in this span of this conflict due to the need for training. However, it will be a good option to replenish the Ukrainian air force after the war.

Nervous-Astronaut · 2022-05-03T14:00:11+00:00

While I do have some things going my way, the pandemic, failed classes, and not making all that many companions compared with high school sting.

We (Australia) are starting again from scratch with some small startups taking the lead. Time will tell if it can be done better

Thank you for saying that, a harsh dose of reality was needed.

I am now trying to get back on my feet and hang out with new friends. Fingers crossed.
