There is room for different types of engineer. Some engineers are really creative, and that's great, but there is also a real need for people who are good at turning the crank and getting projects completed.

Stereotypes and notions don't matter. Do what makes you happy!

While you do not need to be super creative, some sort of intuition or creativity is certainly required (problem solving skills).
