I was drawn to engineering by the joy of learning and problem solving. The pain of puzzling over a difficult problem, then the ecstatic release when you figure it out and get it working. I don't understand why someone would want to give that up. It gives meaning to the work.

I know for some jobs it's a great accelerator, but those jobs tend to be the ones that don't involve a lot of heavy duty problem solving, it seems.
