      Hey,

      Everyone has a bad day every once in a while, when you have lots of work to do or something were you think …. am I doing the right thing? what if i worked somewhere else?

      But actually, I find my job really interesting and really rewarding so I am happy that I am an engineer!

      Not really! I enjoy what I do, and although I sometimes get annoyed or I work so hard that I am extremely exhausted, I don’t regret I chose this path.

      What I do is very exciting, and I especially enjoy it when I have to give talks n schools with my robots, or when I have to teach students to program the robots.

      The more I get into the field, the more I become engaged with it! So, no regrets. In fact, at least for me, it a very opportune time, as pretty much everyone from governments to businesses look to get into robotics. I think it’s going to be like this for a few years, so you should catch that hype as well 🙂

      The best way to understand whether you’d like engineering or not is to go for it. Find a way to practice it, to see if it fits you (try to build your own very simple robot, for example). Read the news about engineering (or books/blogs about the best engineering achievements of humanity) and see if any of them catch your interest.

      There are people who don’t like their jobs, whatever that job may be (engineering or not). So, try things out, see what works for you 🙂
