I think I have improved a little due to the fact that my grades and attitude are increasing. Since mechatronics is still relatively new in the field of technology, it is a very lucrative industry where I can make a good living. Although mechatronics can be considered mechanical or electrical. Therefore salary can vary: “the average salary for mechanical engineers was $83,060 per year, while electrical engineers earned an average annual salary of approximately $91,410 (becoming a mechatronics engineer).” Even with the good pay and the fact that this career grows every year, it may take a few years to even become one. This does not include the price and cost of going to school to complete this course, “Some jobs require a lot of experience (3-7 years) (becoming a mechatronics engineer).” This translates into more experience and more money for schools that may ultimately break even rather than profit. In any career there will always be pros and cons. These pros and cons may vary from person to person and could solve a variety of problems.
