I just realized you are engineering technology. Do you wish that you went for mechanical engineering, or are you happy with engineering technology? That is my fallback if I can’t find a way to pay for it while reducing hours at work, or if I can’t cut it, which may be the case.
I've never worked in the field. I got the Mech Engineering Technology education, while halfway through a Law Enforcement career, to make use of some employer tuition assistance programs.
I just use the education to perpetuate my hobbies. I occasionally make money designing and building one-off machines, molds, stuff like that for businesses on my own time.
Engineering Technology required math up to Diff-EQ, plenty of physics, but only a semester each of engineering mechanics, thermodynamics and mechanical design.
But it also added in a semester each of electricity and magnetism, electronics design, drafting, drafting with AutoCAD and Inventor, and cutting tool design.
Also, practical lab courses covering CNC programming, Turning and Milling, and Cutting Tool design. Honestly, it wasn't a chore at all. I enjoyed it, and had fun taking all the classes.
I did most of them online, but with proctored exams at the end of each semester from a local testing service. Except for the resident lab classes. Had to take vacation time for those.
It was fun, but I just did it out of boredom, since at the time I graduated, I was already 12 years into a career. That was 6 years ago.
Once I retire, I'll use that education and start some kind of business to keep myself from getting too bored in retirement
