I’m a mechanical engineer. well, by education anyways, and I’m unemployed at the moment. I’ve literally zero specialty and I pretty much don’t know shit and while I’ve got time to endlessly masturbate in my parent’s house and read, I might as well get some inspiration on what fields I should pursue.

Right now I’m reading this Molten Salt and Thorium reactor textbook

    Hello fellow mechanical engineer. You can search jobs about power distribution equipment. Relatively niche job market but also comes with benefits of being a niche market. It’s not petroleum product, it’s not weapon so that is good. An interesting subject I can think of is super conductors. Did you know they have absolute 0 ohm resistance? Not 1/10000000000 ohm or something but perfect 0. Such examples of perfect 0 is quite rare in engineering.
