re: The Decision To Return For BSME At 30

I’m referring more to the time that I could potentially have to invest in small-time community aid. No saving the world for me. Helping one family, helping a few families in a small community is what I’m talking about there, and it is just one small factor that I am considering as a plus to having the good benefits of an engineering job. I’m not envisioning designing the next best efficient wind turbine for them. I’m talking practical, team up to build a school or put a playground somewhere for the kids. Again, this is one of maaaany factors I’m taking into play, and honestly: this is going to happen regardless of what career I choose, so we can even discard it from the pros/cons in the end. (Which might be what you were getting me to realize — we’ve simplified the equation)
