Field Engineer job vs Office Engineer Job.?

Question

I am a bit confused about taking an office engineer offer vs Field engineer offer. The difference:
Office (more pay but less technical) vs Field ( less pay but lot of learning)
Office ( close to friends and family) vs Field ( away from family and friends for a while)
Office ( stay in warm office) vs Field ( -40 C )
Office ( pay increase by 7000 per yr) vs Field ( pay increase 15,000 per yr).
I am a new grad Engineer so I would appreciate some feedback.
Thank You :)

Answer 1

If it were me, I'd take the field engineer job while I was young and full of vigor. Then when it became too much to bear, I'd find a nice office job. Seriously, actual field experience is very valuable and will help greatly for your office job later in life. Good luck to you!

Answer 3

What was your major?



Mechanical and Industrial Engineers typically work 70% office, 30% field/plant floor

Electrical typically work 90% office.

Civil I would say is about 60%/40%
