which is better - Doctor or Chartered Accountant or engineers?
doctor pros : saves lives of people by doing many things that are usually too disgusting for normal people. which is a very important thing. because no matter how much you spend, you can never replace a life. has worked really hard to get where they are. chartered accountant ; makes and saves millions for people and companies if you work for a big company. engineer : almost everything you see when you look around has been engineered in someway. from important and beautiful landmarks (eg - Eiffel tower) to things that you use everyday ( a pen or pencil) has been engineered. i think engineers are the best kind of people. because almost everything in the world has been engineered someway. without engineering we would still be living like people used to in 10000 years ago. eg - inventing a wheel has changed the world massively. inventing a wheel might have happened by accident but is was a very innovating idea. what engineers do, changes the world. the whole world is based on engineering. anyone who can study well can be a very brilliant doctor or chartered accountant. but engineering is not just about studying. it is about being innovative, being inventive, achieving engineering perfection and being passionate. yet they do all this and still is underpaid. now to the question. which is the better career? dont just say engineering because that is what i like and thinking i would pick you as the best answer. the best answer goes to one who explains the most about why they thing their choice of career is the best

Answer 1 :
I love being an engineer, but I'm not sure I could explain why. Lots of differnet things to do, new tasks to learn, the people that know what I am, and understand what engineers are (ie not mechanics) respect me. Yes we are underpaid, relatively speaking, but not awfully so - and I can honestly say I have enjoyed the majority of my days at work.
Answer 2 :
I think that being an engineer would be the best job out of the three. I think it would be great to be a doctor, seeing different patients every day and making great money, but then there are also risks...and a person's life is involved. I would also never, ever be able to be a doctor because you have to cut up a cadaever in med school and give people shots; both things I would never be able to stomach. So the medical field is out for me. Being a chartered accountant would also probably be a pretty good position, monetarily speaking, but again, they hold a lot of responsibility with something that is a pretty touchy subject for most people: money. If you lose other people's money, or mess up their accounting, you're in big trouble. Just watch C-SPAN for 5 minutes and it becomes clear: all of the people they are holding responsible for the economic crises are the accountants of those big companies. Not only that, but crunching numbers all day just seems really, really boring. Being an engineer would be very rewarding because most of the time, you can create without risk. You come up with an idea, you plan it out, you build it, then you build it again and again, a million times maybe, just to make it better. It requires passion and patience. Depending on which engineering field you choose, you can make really good money. Petroleum and chemical engineers are the highest paid, I actually think both are in the top 50 when it comes to highest paying careers, and they also take the least time in school when you consider the schooling required for doctors and CPAs. Just 4 years to get your bachelor's in engineering, then you're making 90k a year. Not too shabby.
