Can I make myself good at engineering if I try hard enough? I always felt like I had a screw or two when not understanding what should be an intermediate level problem and lack the intellect to really synthesize the solution in practice, but the work feels much more satisfying than my other career options when I end up finding a solution and it pays well. Should I just lower my own standards and settle with a technician level job?

When they say to get a job, my question is whose servant they think I'm supposed to be. The best case scenario is that they think I'm supposed to be some random asshole's servant and that case is not realistic at all.

99% of engineering students don't find engineering easy. If you find it interesting and fulfilling, then you're ahead of the curve.

I got an engineering degree. The work is boring af. Now I'm a programmer instead.

I think you are projecting.

That's majority of the engineering graduates, so not ahead in any scenario.
Finding something easy or interesting are different things; you can find it difficult yet interesting and fulfiling (which is true for most engineering graduates).
If you found it 'easy' and not challenging enough, you'll be bored af and not make it through
