My Future
Skills needed
To prepare for this field, you have to take math, science and computer courses in high school. I use a computer all the time, and most of my work involves calculating dimensions, converting measurements and calculating distances.
You have to be able to communicate with engineers and other team members. If you have an idea, you have to be able to express it clearly. At the same time, teamwork is essential. You constantly work with other people. That's how you clarify details and prevent a lot of potential problems from happening in your work.
