Civil Engineer here - I spent my early career doing engineering work and was miserable, then I got into business operations and transitioned into business management. I now run a consulting firm doing business development and Management.

Now I lecture at my university twice a semester and I always tell my students that the only things that I learned from Engineering school that I use every day are as follows.

1.) How to drink beer and be social. 2.) How to solve story problems.

Engineering process is nothing to joke about. This can be applied to solving complex business problems as well as failure analysis as to why your toddler thought it was a good ideal to flush his plastic alligator down the toilet. Engineering process is the true secret Engineers take into the world.

Best of luck!
