earnings

My child you presently just have to ensure that you are good in maths, physics & chemistry. Work hard to get 90+ on these subjects. Earnings has to do with your luck & efforts. civil engineering or mechanical engineering or automotive engineering had nothing to do with Thomas Edison/ Bill Gates/ Micheal Jackson/ President Bush.

You do the first part and get good grades in your high school.

In the current econonic climate it is impossible to tell which will be best by the time you are in employment.

Follow your heart not the money.

It is more about where the opportunities are, maybe you want to live in a particular location...which proffession has the prettiest smartest girls in it should be a prime consideration at 13 I'd have thought!

Get into one or all of them as a hoby, plenty of lads mess with cars, which is always a great start..I'd have thought getting involved in electric vehicles would be fun...but hey that's just me...maybe you'd rather get a Saturday job as tea boy/gopher on a construction site office...
(I don't s'pose health and safety legislation allows such a thing these days )

Go with the flow, work hard, grasp any opportunities which life throws at you.

I did vaction work in an Electronics lab where my Dad worked...apparently I said 'What a bunch of cowboys, you'll nevr catch me working in electronics...'

Of course I'm an electronics designer now...and it's been pretty good to me, (a bit light on the pretty smart women so I had to find Mrs Cat, a teacher instead)

Good luck...

i didnt think about the girls but i said i love them all the same

thanks

In general, nationwide civil engineers with comparable educatonal levels earn slightly less than mechanical. However, civil specialties like structural engineers earn more. There is more liability associated with civil engineering. Personally however, if i had not went for the slightly higher out of college pay, I would aim for something like biochemistry. It has high potential long term earning with all the stock options and benefits if you chose a good growth potential company. typically biochemists work slightly less hours than civil or mechanical engineers, and they spend their time on science. Most engineers who earn near or above the average for their discipline spend most of their time managing staff, managing budgets and schedules, marketing (on their own time), and developing proposals/SOQs. Also, ther eis a huge potential for major, break through, discovery in biochemistry (which you may have some potential to obtain patent and huge earnings). Added benefit, biochemistry is one of the few physical sciences where there are more women than men (and many are very attractive).

Del and Ducon both gave good advice.

If your grades are good as well as your attitude and disposition, you will go far in this field. The amount of pay you get can ultimately be decided on how hard you work, your ability to play (work) with others and what you can offer to the company that hires you.

The bigger the company, the higher the pay. But with it comes great responsibility and hard work.

Good Luck in whatever you Choose!!!

who are del and ducon

thanks

???????????? who you??

At 13 you have plenty of time to explore all these interests through hobbies. Build yourself a remote-controlled car, then build a track for it, complete with paved roads and at least one bridge, maybe a model garage to store the car in. That would give you experience with automotive and civil, and you might pick up some electronics to boot!
