Want an entry-level engineering Job? Learn the right software

When I was 18 years old, I got my first job as an entry-level engineer. I started working for a point-of-purchase manufacturing company that specialized in sheet metal.

Sometimes, You Just Have to Fall

I began my freelance career in June. Like many who work from home, it wasn’t long before I got tired of never leaving my house. My desire to go do something active grew until I finally caved. I had to go do something right now. I couldn’t stare at my PC any more. Since running isn’t an option, everyone I knew was at work, and my bicycle needs some serious attention before it is ride-able, I decided to give the land rollers one more shot.
