      Phase 1: Build successful business, make lots of money.
      Phase 2: Go heli skiing.
      Phase 3: Find the most useful thing I can and start doing that – maybe eliminating malaria, maybe solar energy.

      I’ll be an engineer for ever, it’s not just a job for me, it’s a state of being. Engineering is not just what I do, it’s who I am.

      To be honest, I have no idea! Every day is different for me as an engineer and I think that there are so many opportunities that a career in engineering can give, it’s quite difficult to know what I’ll be doing.

      If you are an engineer and want to do something else, it’s not too difficult to switch professions. Other industries love recruiting engineers because we are logical problem solvers 🙂

      I would like to build the robots from termintator…only kidding, but I would like to be doing something directly with robots in the next 10 years, but I do have feeling i’ll still be doing something associated with engineering in some shape or form.
