YES!! Do it! My daughter was brought up with an engineering interest, she's now 22, majoring in CompSci, is working on her private pilot's license, and makes her Daddy proud every day.
I promise you, you and your daughter will benefit tremendously. (But you knew that already...) :-)
Engineering is where it is at. I just opened 7 new reqs, and will likely open 22 new reqs for my department before the end of the year. There’s always jobs for good engineers. (Software engineers, in this case, but we have DB positions and tech ops positions open, too.)
