I'm an engineer. I don't usually spend more than a few hours on a single job, and there's always something to do. My favorite thing is finding out how to do an unusual job and becoming the go-to guy for it.
What kind of engineering are you in? What aspects of your job do you like the most?
Electrical engineering. I'm not in the department that does all the heavy math, I mostly just do what people tell me to do. But there's satisfaction in making something comprehensible, even elegant, and solving the few problems I come across in my work. It's not artistic, exactly, but it's still very easy for the hours to melt away.
