MyCoolJob: Industrial Engineer

Tim Leopold, and industrial engineer with Honda, talks about his job. This video is being used as part of mycooljob.org, a production of WOSU Public media.


Mycooljob.org is designed for middle-schoolers and early high school students, to give them a taste of the real world after graduation, to show the pluses -- and minuses -- of real jobs. Interviews and photos of the professionals are paired with videos of them, as well as interactive blogs.

The project was funded by a grant through E-Tech, which specializes in using new technology so that Ohio learners will succeed in the world of tomorrow. The Columbus Dispatch also contributed to the site, offering free job-related content from its pages.

Four major career fields are highlighted:
Engineering, Information Technology (IT), Arts and Communication, and Health Sciences, all of which will be in demand in the next five to ten years, the same timeframe in which students looking at the site will graduate. In all, 15 full-time professionals offered to be part of the site. They share stories about their professional lives, which almost never follow a direct path, in an effort to demonstrate that career paths are never a straight line. Each voice allows students to meet and get honest advice from people who love what they do for a living, and find out why.

@CrimelabS thanks for the hint, anyways where is your place i mean what country are you living?

[CrimelabS]

@volikoto Lesson is .... better make plans ahead.

Jobs in demand in my place are for Electrical, Civil, Mechanical, ECE, Industrial, Chemical, IT, Comp. Sci, and on rare occasions comp. eng. Even my colleague a "Cum Laode" top student on my batch works on a call center as an agent...and another makes a living selling aquarium fish...

[CrimelabS]

@volikoto Comp. eng, is not in demand in my place either u end up on a computer store or a comp. tech. which pays way below minimum wage and a waste of ur potential as an engineer. My place is more on commercial even IT have far greater shot of getting hired as a technical support as they have more skills on working with high level programing language and to get the job. my university didnt have an on the job training so there is no assurance whether you get a job after you graduate

[volikoto]

[plung3r]
