Question: what is the worst part about being an engineer?

The worst part is definitely when I get covered in glass fibre insulation, (it’s really itchy), or have to deal with lots of nasty gases. I, general though it can be tough at times when deadlines are looming and the pressure is on. You may have to take responsibility for some tough decisions that might effect how something works, how safe it is, how much it costs and be accountable for your choices. This is all part of the job though and whilst they can be challenging they are all still development opportunities.There are parts in every job that we may not enjoy as much as others or can be hard, but we have to stick with them and try out best not to let them get us down. I’m sure you can think of some bad things about being a student, they won’t stop you achieving what you want though I bet!
