Are you in your dream job?

A thought provoking article on the journey to finding your dream job http://careers.guardian.co.uk/find-dream-job-work-hard

 

How did you get in to a career in engineering and technology? Is it always what you wanted to do? Do you think continuing professional development (CPD) helped you reach your career goals, and how could you use it to continue your career journey?

    I came through the ranks. Started out in 1979 as an Apprentice Electronics Technican and went on from there. Developed skills and knowledge in reliability of electronics from an early age and am now very old and very tired. I am a Chartered and a Reliability Engineer, so I guess that might make me unique!



    I love the work, (maths, electronics, physics of failure etc), but I'm not so keen on the people. In fact, I'm very disappointed. I mst have a hundreds of knives sticking out of my back.



    It does worry me that there appears to be a tide of graduates coming through who want CEng in a couple of months and when they're asked why they want CEng, they don't know.
