Question: What do you get out of engineering that you couldn’t get from any other kind of work?

That’s a difficult one!

I love engineering, and in particular cars & motorsport so the fact that I get to do it as a job gives me great satisfaction. I feel like I would have let myself down if I had studied so hard and for so long, if I hadn’t followed my dream and taken a different career path.

I think that the job is interesting and busy, so there is always something to keep you occupied and busy; it’s very rare I feel bored!

While all of this applies to engineering for me, I imagine if you asked anyone who was enjoying their career/job they would say similar things!
