Everyone's journey is different, small goals make up the larger ones!

I think of this great achievement that can inspire engineers.




David Gillespie CEng MIET SMIEEE


Dropped out of school at 15 to join the Army. Got a trade, then a job, then started taking my hashtag#professionaldevelopment seriously and joined the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), started at the beginning. Lived the Engineering Council spec, saw the education and development gaps. Worked up from an open degree with The Open University to my current industrial PhD with University of Strathclyde. Everyone's journey is different, small goals make up the larger ones. Find a team that will lift you up and the sky is the limit.

    Very interesting Moshe/Roy.

    I am 59 (just!) and after consulting with a PRA, I am aiming to apply for I Eng in about a year. The job I am now doing is only the second one that is 'off tools' having started as a sixteen year old apprentice. No degree, C&G FTC highest qual.

    My attitude is you never know!

    As Churchill put it 'keep on buggering on'


    Regards

    Colin  




    Definitely keep at it.


    Just helped a chap who was well into his 70's get his CEng.


    His career exceeded the word count limit by a wide margin!
