    Episode 82 - Financial Engineering

    This week is unique for us, as it's not a direct structural engineering resource but it's a topic that I am certain you need to understand while you plan out your career. Zach and I are talking with Ryan Sullivan, an engineer who left his design job to go after a passion in financial planning. This is a great story for all the engineers with a pocket full of "numbers" questions, and we finally have the right person to ask. So join in while we learn how we should think about this critical, and engineering adjacent, decision framework for your work life. Ryan Website can be found here: https://www.obpfinancial.com/And I also wanted to link in Connor's (Episode 77) new Python course, I'll certainly be joining in since I see this as a beneficial future set of skills for our profession, Check it out here:https://www.structuralpython.com/

Thanks

I’m currently in my senior year of undergrad, just started a structural engineering internship and seeing all the work people are doing has been very overwhelming. Listening to this podcast has really helped me stay positive and realize that I don’t have to know everything. There’s some really great information in these episodes.
