amazing the frustation " can convey.
I work with a number of " project Enginners" most of whom have a mechanical enginnering background. The have to be pretty all rounded, project managment, research, supervision, drawing, cad, as well as savvy re costs, tenders, contractors, safety etc.
The are mostly contractors, young and indeed a number are continuing their studies while working. Pay seems to be 25-35 an hour rising with experience.
To do six years study and not be happy seems risky.
Why not use the next 2 years to work, travel, get experience, and then review?
