What is it like working as a Mechanical Engineer?

Keep Learning.
Mechanical Engineer:
Always keep learning. Never say, "That's not my job." Focus on the problem at hand, not the blame.
November 2015
My Job.
Mechanical Engineer:
Pros: I like that I am challenged with different projects and that we don't ever create the same building. It forces me to stretch my mind and think outside the box, thus strengthening my skills as an engineer.
Cons: I do not like how easily we can be pushed by the owner/contractor to make late changes in a project. It forces us to put a lot of time into a project when we were supposed to be wrapping it up. That, in turn, ruins our schedule for other projects.
