TL;DR Summary
Mechanical Engineer Career. Short 3 question interview.
I have an assignment for a class where I have to interview Mechanical Engineers. The questions are “Why did you choose this career?”, “Are you happy in this career?”, and “What advice would you give to someone who wanted to pursue this career?” I would appreciate it if someone could answer these questions and possible give their credentials. It doesn't have to be too personal. Thank you!
