What piece of advice would you give (or have you given) to a recent graduate in the engineering field to help them start their career?
When I was fresh out of college, an older engineer that I worked with told me that when he was coming up he would spend his lunch hours reading and trying to understand the articles in technical journals. Then he went on to tell me that there was still time for me to go back to school and become a doctor or a lawyer or anything other than an engineer. Overall, I'm glad I didn't take the second piece of his advice.
