You Don’t Need College Yet to Start Becoming an Engineer

Описание: You don’t need a four‑year degree to start becoming an engineer.

In this video, I break down the practical steps you can take right now if college isn’t affordable yet — from retail roles that build real-world skills, to trade jobs that strengthen your technical foundation, to the at‑home habits that shape an engineer’s mindset long before you enter a classroom.

Whether you’re saving for school, exploring career options, or trying to figure out where to begin, this guide shows you how to start your engineering journey from wherever you are.
