Mechanical Engineering

Looking at Finance I'd say Treasury Management (being a Trader or Stock Broker) would be one of the most lucrative options since you'll be using your technical background to run calculations and look for opportunities to make quick gains in the market. Similarly, Risk Management would again be a good option, but probably at a more senior level. Again, Management Consulting would also open up based on your aptitude and if you would have the base for some critical thinking and problem solving. They ideally help firms in aspects like cost reduction, profit maximization, etc. And have to think about a lot of things from a holistic point of view. Coming to Non-finance roles, there are Marketing, Sales, Branding, Content Writing, Search Engine Optimization (idle for Engineering grads) and other profiles which can be explored by people from any field within any focused degree or courses.

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering. It is also referred to as the mother branch of engineering. Another appealing feature of mechanical engineering is that the application base of this field of study is extremely broad and diverse. Almost all inventions during the ancient period and a vast majority in the modern era are direct contributions of one or the other application of mechanics.
Traditionally, mechanical engineers have to deal with concepts such as mechanics, thermodynamics, robotics, kinematics, structural analysis, fluid mechanics and many others. These concepts are applied in the process of designing state-of-the-art manufacturing units, different types of motor vehicles, aircraft and aerospace parts and a vast assortment of industrial machinery. Mechanical engineers also contribute in the development of various engines, power plant equipment, heating and cooling systems and other simple and complex machinery. Mechanical engineers not only design new mechanical systems but they are also responsible for testing, maintaining and manufacturing them.
The aforementioned are the conventional roles and responsibilities of mechanical engineers. However, times have changed. Nowadays the scope of mechanical engineering is expanding beyond its traditional boundaries. Mechanical engineers are focusing their attention towards new areas of research such as nanotechnology, development of composite materials, biomedical applications, environmental conservation, etc.
The ever increasing scope of this particular job profile now requires professionals to get into financial and marketing aspects of product development and even into people and resource management. All in all mechanical engineering offers a wide bouquet of job options to students who are looking for a stable and stimulating career.
