The air of superiority

funny

Superiority means that you will have to be responsible for all the biggest problems that come up. Give me a worker-bee position any old day and I'll be happy LOL

My favorite part of being an engineer is being able to see the tangible results of my work. I can be working on something and then see it come to life, and it's really satisfying.

The best part of beeing an engineer is the possibility to understood how the things around the word work.
How a civil structure is built, the processes that undergoes in a nuclear reactor or how to improve the performance of a race car.
This is way I have studied all these years

Discovering how and why things work has always been fascinating to me, there is so much I want to know about the world and engineering is the best career for people with this kind of interest. I can't picture myself just working in an office typing reports. I really need to be learning something new every day or I would just be wasting my time.

I love being part of massive, interdisciplinary projects. It's always amazed me to see the things that humans can achieve when collaborating

To know that we can achieve great things with our work

I love the challenge of solving problems and the satisfaction of seeing a project through from start to finish.

There is something new to learn every single day, and it really never gets boring. A lot of people SAY their jobs are like that, but I really MEAN it!!!

How does a sole engineer at a company go about getting management to actually care how production machines run?

I've been working here for about two years now, and I have to say, I love my job. The company culture is great and the people are wonderful to work with.

He just keeps telling me that if I want to get ahead, then this is what I need to do.
