October 14, 1999, on Career Guide for Engineers and Computer Scientists:
As an mechanical engineer (designer, project manager) who works damn hard, I still get a sense of accomplishment that most people just either don't understand or care about. But then my projects (wind tunnel models) rarely last longer than 12 weeks and each one is different. Most of my friends back in England graduated as Electronic engineers, and as a result are doing quite a better than me financially, but I still think I made the better choice. Ask me if I made the right choice in a few years time when my friends are retiring at 55, and I'm still working at 65, then I may not be so circumspect.
