What kind of jobs could one get with a 2 year mechanical engineering

We have some of those at my company. They do assembly work. I don't mean the kind of assembly done by Chinese slave labor. When there's a new product being put together for the first time you need a skilled competent person to do it and write reports. R&D engineers are pretty bad at writing instructions and sometimes problems aren't noticed at the CAD stage.

I think some of the technicians who have been with the company for 20+ years are making $80k. That's not a realistic expectation for a technician right out of school unless you want to move to Fort Mac (and own a time machine). Most Canadians with 4 year engineering degrees don't even make that until they've worked for a successful company for a few years.

>mechanical engineer technician
they add the word engineer to everything these days. here in australia they call it a certificate 2 in engineering which is a 6 month course in which you learn to use a drill and hand saw properly which from there you can start an apprenticeship in any of the mechanical trades like welding or locksmithing or fabrication. bear in mind you will have a qualification that doesnt actually qualify you to do anything. you'd be better off learning to restore an old car desu, practical results assembling an engine, panel beating ect.


CAD or a foreman basically. its enough to be able to convey information between the retards and engineers but not even close to a 4-year internationally recognized degree.

So should I look in to going to university instead if my monetary goals are already so high?
I've been working as a contractor's apprentice for a few years so anything to do with handtools I know very well.
And I'm younger so 'muh generation' technology grasp is very good, I don't want to waste a few years of my life learning about programs like CAD that I could have picked up after a bit of YouTube research and a torrent.

These would be my courses under the program in question

They offer an 'advanced' coop as well

I suppose this one would just assist me in being more qualified after graduation?
