How stressful is an engineering job?

Well thank you all so much for replying. I didn’t expect such helpful responses in less than a day.

Firstly, thank you @HPuck35 for your shared experience. From your comment I understand that engineering is as much stressful as any other career. Sure, we’d all love to work as a video game tester or some other helpless job and be a millionaire, but coming to reality and now that I can think things a little bit more clear, I don’t think the career is stressful. Thank you so much.

@MaineLonghorn I’d like to ask you what kind of job were NOT stressful to you? As you claim designing was not a particularly good experience, despite of what I thought (dynamic job).

@BEngineer I have to ask you something. M&E has a bit of electrical. What would you think that are the minimum qualifications that a persona has to have to like electronics? Do you have any book/blog/something I should look into to know a little bit more? I’ve read about mechanics and enjoyed it, but so far not so much about electronics.

Again, thank you all so much for the responses!

PS: @myuusmeow You have no idea what that means to me! My parents forced me to study English against my will, and it was a hard process since I was 8. The fact that you took the time, even though you know nothing about the topic, to appreciate my knowledge… just WOW! Thank you!
