Need some advice on getting started
Hello, I need some general help from Engineers in the United States.
I graduated from an Engineering University in Istanbul, Turkey and did a few internships while there. After that I basically did some unrelated jobs before moving to New York. My goal was to study finance and find work as an engineer or perhaps another internship in finance. I had some money saved up and also a citizenship, so I thought I'd take my chances in the big apple.
Well, long story short, I'm having trouble actually getting on my feet in the engineering world. I won't bore you with my story, but I'm simply in need of some counseling.
I'm taking some courses in Baruch College for finance, but they couldn't really answer my questions concerning Engineering regulations in the US.
My main worry is that I'm sending out these resumes in vain. Do I need an NCEES license on top of my degree if a company is to hire me? What else would I need?
Please excuse me if these seem trivial or if I'm breaking any rules. Thank you!
