Doesn't bother me...someone creative has to manage those engineers, who usually can't see past their laptops!
I am sure plenty of gardeners got depressed when all the mexicans started toting lawnmowers, then they realized they could get the business, drive those laborers to a neighborhood, and then drink soda until they came back.....and make far more money without working up a sweat....

Creative managers - there's an oxymoron right up there with honest lawyers.

Hi wendy,
I have a degree in Mech Engr. I spent 30 yrs in the same job. I loved the work I did & got to travel all over the USA and a very large chunk of the world; Asia, South America & Europe.
'Some' of us like the work that we do,
Jerry
PS) Now retired, the best job I've ever had.
QuoteHow many people want to do the same thing for 30 years (well, except for college professors ). Note: When I say "the same thing" I mean job description. There is nothing monotonous about being a college professor, and he loved it.

Those are the people who can see the variety in the job that they do. Some can't it seems; just look at folks even in this thread who already left engineering.Quote'Some' of us like the work that we do,
I like job-hopping. If I could do that for a living I would. But who wants to pay you to be a quick study?

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)
Let me tell a little story.
A college graduate, american, female, etc etc...decided to apply for grad school at a major US university. Now, this grad's undergraduate degree was in aeronautical engineering, but she wanted to get a masters in electrical engineering. She had ONE EE class during her undergrad education. She was missing many fundamentals that every other EE grad student would be expected to have.
She applied, but didn't think she'd get in.
She did.
When she attended the orientation session, the EE department head said that over 600 people applied that year, and only 35 got in.
How the hell did she make it, as unqualified as she was?
Because out of the 600 applicants...wait for it...only FIVE (yes, i said FIVE) were american citizens. FIVE. Those five got an automatic slot.
Five. Out of 600.
Yes...it's ominous.
