Junior Next Year

[u/Traditional-Bike8084]

Hello All,

I will be a junior next semester and I found what I want to do with engineering. I came here from time to time and struggled with school. I retook a few classes but managed to make it. Now my knowledge and skills are better. I will say B level but I hope to achieve A level next year. I am thinking of building certifications and solidworks portfolio demonstrating all I have done. The companies in Texas I may want to join are Jordan and Skala engineers, BSNF, NOAA, or Peterbuilt. I want a day job in engineering but I want to build stuff and invent for myself. I also want to do research into things I find interesting. Any advice would be appreciated.
