schools, community colleges or 4-year colleges and universities. Undergraduate majors for
sound engineers include audio technology, broadcast technology or music production,
according to the Audio Engineering Society (www.aes.org). Sound engineers often hone
their skills in student and community productions before being hired as salaried or freelance
sound engineering technicians.

techs at large companies can make $80,000 a year, or more.
Education Requirements: To become an engineering tech, students must usually complete
a 1 to 3-year program in engineering technology. Programs for engineering technologists
tend to be a little longer than those that train technicians. Graduates of technologist
programs have a broader knowledge base, which allows them to perform a wider range of
tasks.
Job Description: Set up and repair technical equipment, prepare and conduct experiments,
collect data, and record results, use computer software to produce detailed plans and three-

dimensional drawings, estimate project costs and specify materials to be used and some

$50,000 and $100,000 annually. Some techs earn upwards of $100,000 a year.
Education Requirements: The minimum educational requirement for this career is a diploma
in mining engineering technology or a related field, such as geological or petroleum
technology.
Job Description: Interpret geological maps, aerial photos, core samples, and satellite
imagery, conduct mineralogical studies on site, research costs of opening and operating
mines, and prepare budgets, design and conduct environmental studies, help develop
mining operations and related equipment, such as mine ventilation systems

Petroleum Engineer
Salary: According to the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), the average income for its
members in Canada is approximately $113,000 a year. However, salaries can range from
about $50,000 to over $175,000 annually.
Education Requirements: The minimum requirement to work in this field is a bachelors
degree in petroleum engineering or a closely related subject. Since only a few universities
offer bachelors programs in petroleum engineering, many engineers have degrees in
subjects such as chemical or mechanical engineering, with minors in petroleum
engineering. If a formal minor is not available, students should take as many courses in
petroleum engineering as the school offers.
Job Description: Use many methods, such as satellite imaging, to find new deposits of oil or
natural gas, determine how much oil or gas a deposit may hold, work out where to drill and
the best way to recover the largest amount of oil or gas and plan and oversee drilling and
extraction operations
