Hey guy, I am looking for some ideas on jobs that will put me further into the glass arts/sciences, figured this would be the best spot to ask . I graduated from university 2 years ago with a Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering and got a position sitting at a desk 40 hrs a week, cube life -_-. It has been great for work place experience but I am starting to resent 40 hrs a week of computer work, with minimal stimulation, creativety, and research required.
As you may have guessed I started out making pieces out of glass that have been diamond bit cut & drilled for assembling pieces. After mastering the art of homemade pieces I was integued by the endless boundaries glass has assumed and was able to get some lessons from a local glassblower, which was incredible. So I starting my own studio under some guidance from a buddy but interested to take it a step further and see what jobs are out there that can keep me hands on a be able to continue learning about a true passion...with no cubic insight.
I pursued mechanical engineering to follow my passion for hands on work with the ability to understanding how many of the mechanical components interact in a system. Come to find out its not everything anticipated, shocker, and havent been able to use my mechanically oriented mind on the job at all.
(Have used more engineering know how in glass as hobby then any day at work...what do you guys know about fluid dynamics .
Sincerely,
Mechanical Mind
