This guy loses his first job and he thinks he's all washed up in engineering? If that's his level of committment, then maybe he is better of lookng for another profession. I've been at the engineering game for mumbly years, and I've never regretted a minute of it. I get as much work now as I ever have.

I get as much work now as I ever have.

I always hear people say that. But ask them if they can let you do one of the jobs available, and they'll look at you stupidly, like they did not understand your question.

There is plenty of work out there, but there are plenty of people blocking the access, always interfering in the job others do or want to do. It ends up into a pi$$ing contest every time instead of the sought after enthusiasm in the first place.
