As I write this I’m sitting in the hotel lobby at the Embassy Suites in Dorado, Puerto Rico.  I flew in Monday morning for a startup of a machine our company is installing at a local plant down here.  During the day I’m working in a construction zone with spanish everywhere as my coworker and I are the only ones who don’t speak spanish, but we’re getting along, albeit being a bit sweaty as it’s constantly 85 degrees and 90% humidity.  Oh well, it could be worse, I won’t complain about being sent to a tropical island for two weeks.  And yes, the photo’s on the website are accurate, and I’ll try to post some of my own when I return.

Throughout March and April I’ve been going all over the place for work. Some of it has been for training courses, and some has been for on the job training to see what my colleagues are doing and how they do it.

One of the challenges of being a mechanical engineer is the broadness of the field.

Sometimes I wonder. I don’t question my choice of being an engineer at all, but I do question where my life is going. Do I want to do architectural engineering my whole life? If not, how do I get a job doing something else without experience? Where would another position lead me to? Would I want to take that path? Sometimes I get glimpses that tell me God has a plan for me, but I have no clue what it is. Read the rest of this entry »
