i suspect these threads are BRIC propaganda to destroy all semblance of industry in the west, electrical engineers are always well paid anons. if op is so unhappy he could just go get a high paying, high benefit entry level job in the military where they will also feed him, train him and get him fit. on top of that he will face almost novdanger in his MOS. At the end of it all he would have his pick of management jobs in industry. electrical engineers are the smartest of the engineers, if op really was an electrical engineer he would know all this and more.

>doing 3 hours of actual work a day
This isn't the brag everyone thinks it is. You're only ever expected to do 2-3 hours of actual REAL productive work. The only people who have to "work" a full 8+ shift are service workers (dumb) or manual laborers (low IQ+dumb). If you're white collar your employer (if they're worth shit) is fully cognizant of the fact that you are only putting in that much work every day. The rest of that time is just psychological, to keep you feeling like you're doing something you shouldn't and therefore agree to less pay compared to the ACTUAL work you do, otherwise wages would be $800/hr for a lot of finance and legal work, ie consultancy rates.
