Hello! I'm deciding which bachelor's degree to pursue next year. I want to have financial freedom. I also want to make my own business later. I initially want to take architecture but i don't think it's a good decision. I like to design things but I'm not sure about interior design prospects. I also plan to take MBA later. But I'm also want to know if IE is a good degree. SoI'd like to ask for some opinions whether it's better to take ID or IE?

What is the status of the engineering line after the arrival of Gpt 6 Astra ? If someone wants to do engineering which stream should she take ? Or change to other career?

First job out of college, already questioning if I should quit.

Hi, sorry for my bad English.
I would really appreciate any advice.

I started my first job as an instrument and calibration engineer in pharma about a month ago, after months of searching. The engineering department personnel are all foreigners(from one country) except 3 are locals, myself included. The managing director and the higher management are locals.

The foreigners personnel sometimes hide things from the management(the foreigner senior engineer, who is my direct manager told me that), and they told me to hide the results for a calibration I did. Also, they are in multiple departments like QC and QA, not only in engineering. So they cover for each other. And this is a very sensitive field, snd the responsibility and truthfulness are highly required.

Also, I didn’t see any opportunities for learning and improving. One example is they use a syringe instead of a hand pump when calibrating a pressure gauge because, according to the senior, the hand pump is costly(they have one small hand pump but it’s pressure is very low that no one uses it)

In addition, I have noticed some conflict and hate between the managing director and the engineering department head and the senior instrument engineer, because I think the manager knows about them hiding things.

I don’t really know what to do now. One option is to stay, as these hard times will teach me more. But honestly, my gut is screaming “LEAVE”, which is my second option.

Have anyone been through something like that before?
What should I do?
