The idea that “engineering is the most important job in the world” is a myth. It’s also not true. So, if you are thinking about engineering and you are a single person, you must get married.
But what if you can’t get married and you want to do more engineering? If you’re single, you’re going to have to do something to get married. That’s right, engineering. And what is it going to be? Well, it looks like we might be going to the source of a little something called the “Engineering Bachelor’s” degree. If you’re a single person and you want to do more engineering, you’re going to have to get married.
Engineering is a really great field in the sense that there is a lot to learn in it. And it can be very useful to engineers. But it doesn’t give you a lot of options for a future career. If you’re a single person and you’re an engineer, you should probably think about it.
Engineers have been known to get married and start families. They can also be quite passionate about engineering and have a great deal of patience. But what they shouldn’t be is a single person wanting to do something theyre not passionate about. A single person that gets married and has a child should probably just move to another state. We can’t say the same thing about engineering.
I know Ive said this in past interviews, but engineers dont need to be a single guy to make a great marriage. Its ok if you have the same interests, but to be a great engineer you need to be happy with yourself, and work for a company that you think you can do something great. There is no ideal career, and I say that as an engineer that has tried all of them.
Yeah, that’s one of the reasons I didn’t go into engineering, because I was really afraid of what I would have to overcome to get a job doing it. I don’t think I worked harder then than I did with my engineering degree, but I have no idea how I could have gone that far. I don’t even know how many times I’ve been in a meeting where I had to look over my notes to see where I had gone wrong.
I don’t know how to deprioritize engineering. I know how to optimize and focus on the big picture, but when there is nothing left to do, there is nothing left to do well.
Deprioritizing engineering is hard because it’s also the one thing that engineers do well. Not only do they focus on the big picture, they also focus on their own work. If they can’t find something that they feel can be improved, they usually just move on. But engineers don’t just move on when they don’t get something they believe is better, they also move on when they do get something they believe is better. Engineering is a field that can get pretty bogged down.
I have always had a problem with engineers getting bogged down. As a result I tend to think of engineers more as “lazy” than “stubborn.” But the engineering world is a big place and they usually have a lot of work to do so they tend to get bogged down and do something wrong.
I remember seeing an interview recently where a computer engineer was explaining how they go through a cycle of getting better at doing something that should be easy, because they werent doing anything wrong, to get bogged down by their own incompetence. I tend to think of engineering as a field of people who really just dont have the skill to do a whole lot of work.
