Q

Why do you want to be an engineer?

A

I like coming up with solutions to problems.

I also like the complexity of being an engineer where the job is always different or a different problem to solve.

Which I found was lacking in my marketing career.

I wanted to switch to an engineering degree during my time at university but figured i should finish the one I started.

Figured this would be a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Join the air force and become an engineer.
