The other thread on kids leaving home has prompted me to start this one. My son is interested in mechanical engineering and robotic engineering. He is looking at a 2 year school that offers associates degrees in these fields. Are associates degrees in engineering going to make him employable or does he really need a BS? He is a great hands on kid and wants to work in a smaller shop and be involved with design and build. He would like to work in the weapons or defense industries. Would robotics be more useful than mechanical. Hopefully some of you folks can shed some light on this and I can share it with him. Thanks.
Mike
