Any people out there care to advise about this?
I feel like I'm missing out if I don't take, but I don't have a good feeling about this, those kinda feeling like go BMT kind.

Btw, I'm an engine undergrad and like the millions of engine undergrads out there, am passive abt engineering.

Please help.
Travelling time is a huge factor. Nearly all my classmates including me who has to travel far to our workplace had changed jobs within 2 years. After 1.5yrs I could not bear to waste 3hrs+ just to travel to and from work. It is really eating into my time after adding the long working hours. Remember that engineers cannot escape from doing OT ever so often.
