  • I am Trying to find some useful help!

    ...in regards to school. i am entering my third semester (pursuing my B.Sci. in Mechanical engineering) My goal is to become a designer(Vehicle Line Engineer) for GM at the Chevrolet Corvette Platform.... Perhaps the best job in the world?. i have several questions that i feel would be useful if answered by people who aren't looking for my tuition money.

    1. With a goal so high, what degree(s) should I aim for?
    >Prior corvette Chief Engineer Dave McClellan went to Wayne State
    Univ. in Detroit, then to MIT, then to Sloan School of Management.

    2. Where do I start?
    > i have heard that getting an internship with an engineering company is a good way to go, but would it satisfy my fututre employer?

    3. Who else can I talk to, and what other questions should i ask?


    Thank you!

          Thank you for referring me to Jeff Yachnin, Ken! I had heard and seen his name several times around the 'net. He was a great help and this is all very much appreciated.

            Ahhh, what does Yachnin know anyway? LOL. He's just a crusty, old sarcastic bast*(). Just don't ask him about politics.

              He knows a lot about the movie industry as well. He got a bit part in a movie called "Weekend at Bernies" as a corpse
