Growing up, it was the dream of every child to be a pilot, doctor, lawyer among others.
However, as time passes by, priorities shift, and people gain new interests which in turn re-shapes their career journey.
Whereas many people consider medicine and law as the best careers, it is my opinion that engineering is the best career in the country at the moment.
The technical aspect of the course always scares away most Kenyan youths who fear sciences, but those who persevere yield good outcomes.
For one to be an engineer, they need to be good in sciences for example; Mathematics and Physics.
To qualify for a government-sponsored slot in an engineering class at public universities, one has to have a mean grade of not less than A-.
Some of the reputable universities offering the course include; The University of Nairobi, Moi University, and Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.
Engineering is wide and can be classified into categories that include; civil engineering, electronics engineering, and mechanical engineering.
Being an engineer has additional benefits in that despite being on the field, one can also get into the academic field and lecture.
For those with good networks and vast experience, a single project can earn up to one million shillings.
Some of the best employers in the industry include; government agencies like KenGen, Kenya Ports Authority, and the Energy Regulatory Commission. Apart from the government, telecommunication companies, e.g. Safaricom also hire engineers.
