[QUOTE="CV355, post: 15552395, member: 181885"] I've worked in places I've dreaded for years- it paid my way through college. I've been at my current job for 6 years. I absolutely love what we do, but the politics, timing, and stress are unbearable at times. Certain people think everything is easy because they do not understand how reality works. They're the reason much of the team has to work insane hours and have no work/life balance. My philosophy is that if you're the promise-maker, you should be responsible for working alongside the team that has to make your promise reality. I haven't had a true vacation in 14 years- lost probably 500+hrs due to "use it or lose it" policies. I've been an R&D Engineer, process engineer, mechanical engineer, project manager, and now engineering manager. Engineering is a completely thankless job, and if you don't derive your own satisfaction from the work you do, it's a recipe for an early death. [/QUOTE]
