I should take Dave's advice and get qualified as a driver before I'm too old to be considered.
To answer your question, I was born an engineer so I can't stop being one.
But on the work front... my passions have changed.
I've been considering a complete change.
I need a job I can leave at work and not think about when I'm home.
I'm an engineer in a senior position yearning for something simple.
Don't laugh, I did consider becoming a bus driver.
I don't like working anymore. I'm over it.
Lost my passion for techy work things. All I think about now is hobby related stuff and where my next cycling trip will take me.
I'm considering discussing a 4-day week with my employers, but I need to decide if the associated 20% pay cut is workable for me.
If you know about Spinal Tap, the mockumentary film This is Spinal Tap, and the significance of the number 11, then you will appreciate the fact it is the only movie on IMDB that has a rating scale up to 11.
All other movies are rated 1..10.
You don't want to smell like a bus stop at 3pm.
