In this video I break down what a Mechanical Engineering degree has actually been like for me, and whether I think it’s worth it. I go through how I got in, what I expected going in, and what the reality looked like once the workload hit. I’m not here to romanticize it — I just want to give you a clear picture of the trade-offs: time, stress, and consistency, versus the skills you build and the options it can open up. I walk through my experience year by year (Year 1 to Year 3), what changed as the difficulty ramped up, and what I learned about studying efficiently instead of just grinding. The big takeaway is that the degree can be worth it, but only if you’re honest about why you’re doing it and you build simple systems that keep you showing up. If you’re choosing between degrees, or you’re already in engineering and feeling behind, I want this to help you zoom out, simplify, and make a plan you can actually stick to.
