I would say engineering probably deserves an 8, there is a lot of freedom within it and variety, it is challenging and interesting and you just have a lot of options.
9 out of ten. No job is perfect but this job is nearly perfect for someone like me. Full of variety and constant challenges, interesting people and the opportunity to learn.
Using Italian marking system (1 and 10 is given only to heroes, 9 and 2 are exceptionally good or worse), I would give it an 8. It is a creative job, it allows you to study how things work deep inside and you can visit plants and other sites where everyday objects are made. For a 9, probably I would expect more freedom of switching role and learning different things, which is normally given in academia or in some start-ups (my employer is a 2 centuries old corporation)
