<p>I am an engineering major at Purdue and will graduate next year. I am not looking forward to a 9-5 engineering job after I graduate. I plan to travel around the world for six months and maybe do a little volunteering abroad(I want to go to africa, south america and China) and then try my hand at entrepreneurship by starting my own company either in India, china or singapore (My anestry is Indian so I have some connections in India, I also have some friends in China who would be willing to help me). To my parents all of this seems like a risky proposition, they think I will be wasting my education away. I just need some advice if I will be making the right decision.</p>
<p>What are you majoring in?</p>
<p>and what sort of company?</p>
<p>Maybe you could consider the Army Corps of Engineers? Travel + engineering…</p>
