Fellow Engineers.

How the hell to you break out of the job funk.

I became an engineer (Specifically Aero) because when I was young, I wanted to build shit. I went to school, got good grades, and got a job. No one told me Engineering jobs suck.

The projects you work on are so goddamn massive that anything you do is pretty insignificant. Being a project manager is among the worst wastes of time ever. And impossible workloads are demanded by people who don't understand their own workloads and any work that I do that is above the call of duty just causes more work to be shoved at me with no recognition for any of it.

I've been here for almost a year now, and I feel like I'm slowly being sucked into a world of shit.

What do you do in order to feel like your 20's aren't a complete waste of time and youth?
