      Hello aminajesslin,

      Great question – I have been an engineer for 18 years no so i guess you could say that engineering is my life!! My career has taken me all over the world carrying out various engineering projects. If i hadn’t been an engineer its hard to say what i’d have been doing.

      So in answer to your question – engineering has affected my life greatly because it all i’ve ever done!!

      Thanks for you great question!

      I agree with Al, being an engineer has given me all sorts of opportunities I wouldn’t have had otherwise. I really love that there are so many different jobs, places to work and types of technology to learn about.

      I guess you could say Engineering is a way of thinking – we do think differently to non-engineers. When someone asks me what I do, there are lots of things I can say, but I always answer “I’m an Engineer” because it’s part of my everyday life.
