Engineering career ideas for high school students. Ideas are cheap; fit is not. Forty careers with growth, path and an ordinary day, and an assessment that tells you which ideas are worth a year of your life. Engineering rewards practicality about what works in the real world, spatial reasoning about objects and forces, and collaboration inside large teams on hard deadlines. High school is early enough to choose classes and late enough that a working style is already visible.

No. The full assessment is open at tienesesto.org/stem-assessment, and every result links to a STEM Farm track that starts from zero.
