>> For working for The American Society of Mechanical Engineers,
a mechanical engineering degree is a very good start.
But there are all different standards developing organizations, for all different,
focuses you can work for The American Society of Civil Engineering,
where you can be a civil engineer, or an I triple E, which is for Electrical Engineering.
And there's also societies for chemical engineering.
And I'm sure there are, outside of engineering as well, construction codes for buildings.
Not only do I have the technical experience, but I'm also able to write well, which is a big plus
for this job, because you need to be able to communicate well with the engineers,
and the editors, you need to be able to take the technical information, put it into a form
that someone who doesn't have as much experience would be able to understand.
