      Hmm, there aren’t many for me to choose from! As a research engineer, I spend a lot of time in a lab which I normally enjoy, but when no-one else is there, it can get a bit lonely!

      Having to deal with other engineers who corrupt my software packages, that they all depend on to ensure our testbeds (where engines are tested; some for just hours others for days) have cover 24/7.

      It can be frustrating at times when you aren’t able to implement sound engineering solutions due to external factors such as cost or time.

      I don’t see much bad stuff when it comes to engineering. Some forms of engineering I would find boring, but there are others that would find my job boring. The key is finding what you are good at and what you enjoy. If you do what you love you will never work a day in your life!
