Mechanical Engineer checking in although these days I spend 75% of my time in front of a computer. Specialized in CFD
Same here. Got bored of the applied CFD pretty bad and was able to move back into the world of solving problems we don’t have answers for nor have a real direction in trying to solve them and have enjoyed it much more.

Civil engineer for 22 years, checking in

I’m a mechanical as well. Was a maintenance engineer the past three years and enjoyed the hands on approach and being in the field. Moved to Houston and took a job as a project engineer. Ridiculously easy and care free job compared to my previous but lots more boring… and lots more Tigerdroppings

Mechanical PE licensed in 4 states (which is a PITA because each state has their own unique requirements).
It's a good trade but there are highs and lows and you too can be laid off when there is no work. It's the nature of consulting.
Live within your means and have a healthy savings account. A wife that works ain't a bad thing either.

Mechanical engineer. I just started in a new industry and feel like that kid in the train engineer pajamas.
Engineers are useful because you can pickup anything faster than most. In one year you can absorb 5 years of experience. Just my take in oil and gas production.
To all those young engineers, get your PE. It’s a differentiator when applying to jobs. Also, be selfish with your career. The corporate world will slice you away with zero thought. If you’ve gained all the experience from a place, move on with zero cares.

Construction field super here.
No wonder I have to send 5 RFIs a day. You guys are too busy dicking off here to check your drawings.

I worked as a draftsman at one point. Got pushed out after multiple layoffs. Never was able to get back into even after steadily applying for work.
Now I work elsewhere and do other things.

oh so your buddy is an industrial engineer?
Negative...he works in the Air Force as a civilian sustainment engineer.
I worked with about 60 engineers (mil attached & mic) in my last gig in the military. Was hilarious, three of the 10 brightest peeps I ever worked with are in this group and they worked ejection seats and other vital widgets...
But 10 of the bottom feeders are in that 60ish number as well. They showed up and were precious oxygen thieves in a stifling office. All in all I enjoyed working with them, it was a hoot.

EE here, work in the field so I don't get to sit on the computer all day.

Boss called me into his office.
"Tell me about your affiliation with Auburn."
"Great Granddad graduated. Granddad graduated as a Civil Engineer. He returned from WW2 to serve as a Football Coach with Shug Jordan. He recruited the 51-59 teams, My cousin played Wide Receiver at Auburn. My Great Uncle is a Professor of Power Engineering at Auburn." "And who is your Great Uncle?" "William Feaster."
"Wild Bill Feaster is your Great Uncle?"
"Yes Sir. Never heard him referred to as that"
"Greatest Power Engineering Professor I ever had. My Master's is in Power Engineering and he was the best and toughest."
"Had to know your stuff to get a degree under him. Relatives were shown no mercy."
