      I certainly would!

      Three top reasons:
      1. It’s always varied so you don’t get bored
      2. You meet and work with some amazing and very interesting people
      3. You can get the opportunity to travel and experience different cultures

      Definitely it’s so rewarding, long hours but great pay 😉

      I mean who else stays over to help fix a breakdown and the owner of a multi million pound company buys you and your girlfriend ( fiancée ) dinner at a nice restaurant 😉

      Some great people to meet and work with, like Stuart said I’ve been all over Europe with work all paid for, thou I’d like to see America before I retire 😉

      Definitely!

      The great thing about engineering is that the jobs are so diverse, so you can find one that suits you and what you enjoy best.

      So if you want a 9-5 office job with good pay and a different challenge every day and cool colleagues who you work with in a team – engineering can give you that.

      If you want to travel and see the world and be paid to go to really unusual places and do cool things – engineering can give you that.

      If you want to go to a different place every day, and work with lots of different people, hands on, fixing their problems and basically feeling like a superhero the whole time – engineering can give you that.

      If you want to work to develop things that really do improve peoples lives, like bringing water to developing countries, or power or the internet, or developing medical scanner or new prosthetics for amputees, or new implants and artificial joints to improve life for the elderly – you can do that with engineering.

      If you want a hands on job, or a technical desk job, or a job interacting with lots of different people, or working in a close-knit team on a project together – engineering can be all of those things.

      And if you want a bit of everything, you can have that too, and shift between all the types of roles I’ve mentioned depending on what you fancy at that time in your life!

      You can never get bored being an engineer.

      I definitely would! And basically for the same reasons given so far:

      No day is like the other – there is always something different to do, learn and find out! You meet a lot of interesting people through work you collaborate with and you might even get to travel in the course of your projects. You will make other people’s lives better through your work and I think to know this, that is the most rewarding part about my job. 🙂
