I know Metrolinx hires many civil engineers for various positions, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience applying for a position with a mechanical eng. degree? What was your experience like?

Getting fried for my exam tomorrow because I decided it would be a good idea to watch Argentina play tonight instead of doing practice.

Well worth it. Messi hat trick, Algeria couldn't sadly even stand a chance in the second half.

Good game!

I've always been interested in large systems and public-service type projects (infrastructure, utilities, transportation systems, pipelines etc...) but not necessarily civil engineering specifically.

If anyone has any advice, I brainstormed some questions I had:

• If you went the mechanical route, did it actually open doors into these kinds of fields?
• Beyond HVAC (which seems to get mentioned a lot), what kinds of things are MEs designing in these sectors?
• Does anyone here work with pipeline design, utility systems, energy infrastructure, or similar areas?
• What's the day-to-day experience like? Is it more design-heavy, field work, project management, simulations, etc.?

I'm trying to understand whether mechanical is broad enough to let me work on infrastructure-scale problems while still keeping options open.

Would appreciate hearing about your experiences.

What I have tried doing is to keep a list of items I have to get through for the day in order to keep me busy. I've deleted most of my social medias in order to focus as well.

However, sometimes these recurring thoughts (sorta like rumination about the past) keeps coming back to me. I don't know why.

Looking for any advice, no matter how unhinged, whatever has worked FOR YOU.
