Study /
Bachelors in Civil / Mechanical Engineering Degree in Poland [39]
@Jardinero: There are many production plants in Poland, but they're not Polish, so R&D is not here. Few mentioned by you Polish companies produce mostly from parts designed by western companies. They do some designing too, but it's really not much for the size of country. Reality of graduates is often quite sad, as this man writes (google translation):

I realized that google translate is not readable so here it's the same text with few fixes (very few):
One thing it is to study, level of difficulty , etc., the second thing - much more important it really is future work .
I can write it as it looks from the perspective of nearly 10 years of professional experience as a design engineer .
Studies on MiBM are quite difficult (at least that was when I was studying ) but now you can earn a degree while doing nothing , and nothing get from studies, except of the paper, which today no longer has any meaning. Studies will be difficult for you then when you want to reach something with it. If you want to work later in the profession, have it easy to find work in the future , unfortunately you'll have to do some work for it .
MiBM always enjoyed big popularity among high school graduates - but it's just not an argument . Pedagogy for example, has great interest and what does it mean? The decisions of young people are rarely rational.
However, I absolutely do not intend to encourage you to study, on the contrary - advise against .
I managed to find a good job Poland (several national averages , developmental work , interesting ) , but most of my friends with ( even very good students ) or not working in the profession, or work for 3-3.5 zł on hand doing really difficult and responsible profession .
After MiBM in truth you can work in various positions , but they are all rather similarry paid . Most earn traders and it is respectively the easiest job. Unfortunately, a designer engineer earns on avrage very badly. Given the enormous responsibility that lies on the constructor ( the error may cause a disaster , and prison ), the average salary for this position is embarrassing. For comparison, a civil engineering designer earns several times more ! ( which of course now changing due to the crisis in the construction sector ) .
I somehow managed to find my place in this difficult construction labor market and earn good money .
But many of my colleagues, graduates of economy, often even various funny private universities , earn a lot more than I am, doing a simple not stressfull and irresponsible work .
Yes, I admit that during the month I receive few job offers, which most of them are simply embarrassing when it comes to salaries . It would seem that no intelligent and reasonable person would risk his nect for the salary of room painter , but the reality is different - I do not know how to explain it but there it is .
This is a scam that there is shortage of engineers , do not believe the media. There is no deer to work for 2500 PLN on hand.
Of course, after 10 years the situation may be different , it describes the current state . But I advise you seriously to consider the choice of the Technical University - not unless you want to choose IT.
