Most engineering books teach formulas, theories, and problem sets.
This one teaches you how to build a life.
I didn't write this book with AI or by rephrasing blog posts. I wrote it from 17+ years of real engineering work across multiple countries, harsh climates, and high-pressure projects - as a Chartered Engineer (CEng), European Engineer (EUR ING), and Certified Professional Career Coach.
Inside, I share the decisions, mistakes, and strategies that took me from an average engineering student to a globally paid specialist with a six-figure income and real personal freedom - without losing my health, family, or sanity along the way.
This book is for you if:You're a high school or university student wondering if engineering is worth it - and how not to waste these years.
You're a young engineer who wants faster growth, better jobs, and higher pay instead of waiting 20 years for a promotion.
You're an experienced engineer who feels stuck, underpaid, or trapped in one country or company.
You're a parent who wants to help your child choose the right engineering path and not repeat your mistakes.
What you'll learn:Choosing your engineering path wisely
How to pick the right discipline (civil engineer, mechanical engineer, software engineer, aerospace engineer, biomedical engineer, structural engineer, chemical engineer, data engineer, system engineer, AI engineer, nuclear engineer, aircraft engineer, etc.) for your strengths, personality, and market demand.
Building an international career
How to prepare yourself to work abroad, get noticed by foreign employers, and use engineering to open doors worldwide.
Earning more as an engineer
How engineers really get high salaries: negotiations, value, timing, and avoiding the "loyal but underpaid" trap.
Avoiding the biggest career mistakes
Pitfalls I see again and again in engineering careers - and what to do instead.
Winning with your resume and interviews

Focused specifically on engineers - their mindset, problems, and opportunities.
Combines career, money, and life strategy in one roadmap.
If you want more than just a job title - if you want a strong engineering career, high income, global opportunities, and freedom for yourself and your family - this book is a practical place to start.
