Hi guys, I'm a final year BEng Mechatronics student and I am struggling to decide which degree/diploma I should do afterwards if any?

My goal is for my possible next degree/diploma to "compliment" my current degree. So I've heard degrees in Economics, Business, Accounting etc. are some of the best choices if you want to enter the working world and not become and academic. But which of these would be best to do? Accounting, Business (management) or Economics?

If you have done a degree after your engineering degree what did you do and why?

PS. I only mentioned Accounting, Business and Economics since this is what I've heard is the best choices. If you have done or heard of any other degree/diploma which is also a great choice let me know.

Edit: I want to do the second degree part-time to strengthen the position I have in a company rather than going down a different career route.

Thanks for you time guys.

Title basically. I have done BS Mechanical Engineering from my home country but want to move to Canada later. So I have decided I want to do a diploma from Canada and I have been interested in marketing for some time so wanna make the switch. Later I want to get work experience in Canada on PGWP and then apply for immigration to Canada. My question is if I'll be admitted to a diploma program and will I get study permit based on my prior education and the choice of diploma? Also if there is any other way for me to move to Canada ? I have no experience yet as I have just graduated and I feel like I am no more interested in engineering rather in sales and marketing be it for an engineering firm or any other place. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I am a foreign student and was thinking of doing my diploma and undergrad in CS or engineering in a private university. I did some research and found out about Monash, but its a bit expensive for me as a result universities like Monash is out of the question. I heard a lot about UCSI, Segi, Taylor's, Nilai, Sunway, INTI, APU, MMU. Also I am not a great student so I wount be able to get in universities like UM etc.

So I was hoping for you guys to help me out in this matter, and if you people have any suggestions or any other universities in your mind feel free to write it down.

Thank You.

Just wondering if this diploma will survive in the future as I’m looking to take it for college.

So i'm a qualified teacher looking for a bit of a career change. I've been applying to a fairly random smattering of jobs entry-level jobs on sites like indeed and so on and looking into retraining into various different trades and professions. I came across a "Trainee telecoms engineer" position offered by a random recruitment agency and decided to apply, it's an area i'm relatively interested in and i think at this point in life a trade would suit me well, so hey, why not. Anyway, less than an hour later i got an email asking for a few details, replied, and shortly after that received an offer of a place.

Now it turns out there is no trainee position, its a (free but unpaid) 6 week, full-time, training course for a Level 2 Diploma in Engineering IT & Telecommunications with all travel expenses paid and a guaranteed job interview at the end with various big name companies in the industry.

My question is, what is the catch here? I've seen adverts like this in various areas and it all seems a bit sketchy, a bit too good to be true. I'm offered an apparently completely free place on this training course over 2 emails in the course of less than an hour of simply submitting a CV. There is no mention of any kind of college or school or university etc offering any kind of accreditation, although i'm not sure whether that's how these things work in these kinds of courses and qualifications. Does anyone have any experience going through with this kind of training? Should i expect a host of hidden terms and conditions, hidden costs etc? And for anyone with experience in this industry, is a level 2 diploma here worth much? Will it get me any kind of job? Is this a good route into the career?

Obviously as a teacher by profession there's not a whole lot of work going on for me in the next month or so, and i can afford to put 6 weeks into training if it's likely to land me a job in a new career with good room for progression, in fact that would be ideal. But on the other hand i don't want to waste 6 weeks of my life on some sketchy scheme for a qualification employers don't care about with some token interview at the end of it if that ends up being the reality of the situation.

Not sure if this is the appropriate sub but any advice would be appreciated here, cheers.

Ive signed up and start this week, just wondering if anyone can give me a better idea of what's involved in it? How demanding it is ect

Long time lurker, first time poster...

I am looking for some advice. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada, I have a B.Sc in Geology and I am currently on contract at a mine in northern SK for the foreseeable future. My plan was always to work several years in oil and gas and then transition to environmental, which ideally would be a more stable career. With the crash and all that proceeded, my plans and options changed to the point of where I am now. Which is a fine, my job at the mine is alright for now, but I have no interest in mining. So I’d like to transition to environmental a little earlier than planned, but am noticing that most opening are looking for 5+ years experience. So I’m wondering if I’d have a better shot at employment if I get a diploma in Environmental Engineering at a nearby technical school that a friend of mine is also considering. It’s a 32 month course with 12 months of work experience. I’m wondering if you guys would think this would be a wise choice, or a waste of my time and resources and to keep on applying?

Thanks for any input 😊

EDIT: I wrote this in a hurry on a break, hopefully I’ve fixed all the grammatical issues

I’ve applied for this fall, but there’s not a ton of info out there on the job outlook for BMETs. Any helpful information about the program is welcome!
