Can I work on a main beam TBM tunnelling project on TBM maintenance without RCS exposure and hearing loss? Is PPE (mask, double hearing protection, safety glasses) is enough to avoid longterm health impact?

I’m 23 in Southern Ontario and have been working for a couple years after graduating engineering; one job in engineering consulting in mining, and one job at a steel plant.

I LOVED engineering in school at Queen’s, graduated at the top of my class, and was involved in design teams and research publications. However, both of the jobs I have had so far have not been great and really made me reconsider this career path. In addition to lack of enjoyment of the work itself, I am unsure this is what I want from the perspective of job security, compensation, and ability to work with people and help them directly. Also I really want to live in Southern Ontario long term and not have to move around.

I have given it some thought and actually see lots of alignment with going back to school for dentistry. My GPA is decent (cum. 3.92/4) however I would have to do ~8 pre reqs in addition to the DAT before applying.

At the same time I have had an awesome engineering job offer from the states for one of Elon’s companies, which I think I will take to get more experience and give engineering another shot. That being said if I do switch to dentistry I would want to start sooner than later, as it would take a solid year minimum to be in a position to apply.

Really interested to hear any thoughts and if anyone has made a switch like this. Thanks!
