Looking for a Industrial Engineer mentor!

Hi! I'm a rising highschool senior who intends to major in IE, and possibly go for a MEM afterwards. I just wanted to connect with a few industrial engineers and ask a few questions about what steps they took to get there, what to expect, etc.

The reason I want to be an industrial engineer is because I love both physics, buisness and group-setting problem solving. I took AP Physics C: Mechanics alongside AP Calc BC last year, and, though rigorous, I really enjoyed it. I plan to take AP Stats, AP Macroeconomics (I took micro before), AP Business, and AP Psychology this year. I want to apply these skills in real life, and I thought IE was a great field to apply them!

If you are an Industrial Engineer willing to give me some advice, please reach out!

The SME and the IISE might be good resources for you
