A Degree Dilemma  As an undergraduate, I chose to earn an
English degree despite high school teachers encouraging me to
become an engineer. I am considering going back to school for
engineering a few years after getting my BA. I took a few
business courses while in school and enjoyed and excelled at
courses like quantitative methods involving problem solving and
math. However, I haven't taken chemistry, physics, or calculus
since high school, so the prospect of going back to school for
such a difficult discipline while working full-time is slightly
intimidating. Do you have any advice for someone like me who is
considering an engineering career after studying a completely
different area? Are employers likely to view me negatively
because I would be older than most engineering graduates after
changing career paths so drastically? posted by Audrey, Virginia
