Hi mate

All the previous comments are true, except britain not respecting its engineers. This is probably the best country to train / serve / be an engineer.
If its something that you feel you could be good at then go for it. I can only say this because i have learnt the hard way. Anybody can be an engineer. there is no great gift only paitence is needed. i say this because engineering is one of the only subjects that if you do not know something then you simply learn.
How? by academic studies, experience, others experiences.
The thing that gets on my nerves is people that say or think they are great because they have a title containing engineer. The fact is that you are already an engineer, everybody is. Every day you face decisions and challenges that you have to think about and decide what you think the best cousre of action is.
Well my friend welcome to engineering. thats all you have to do. Ok you have to understand basic principles of items and depending on your field then you may need to have a deeper understanding. But its all achievable.
A lot of your character will determine how far you make it, be good at what you do but not a b*ll sh***er then you will be fine.

Chow for now, rant over
