yes very much so it is really calming

I had to take several in college (at what's usually rated at the 3rd or 4th-best Eng. school in the US), and, well, let's just say my grasp of the operation of a transistor was never got much past the "shaky" stage.

I took two electrical engineering subjects back in college, and I dropped both of them because I was failing. Electrical engineering did not like me. I made sure that the feeling was mutual ;)

Yesterday I experienced the best feeling in the world: a hard fought success. Electrical engineering is understanding the principals of nature and applying them to create useful things that could never have existed without you. Your creation is your brain child. And when it works as intended... man, it's a great feeling. I am a creator. I am a problem solver. I am a facilitator. It's one thing to know the theory and do the math, it's a whole other thing entirely to see the theory and math in practice. Engineering is not just putting things together that work, it's EXCLUDING the BILLIONS of things in the universe that keeps something from working - which is a much more formidable challenge. Einstein said "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." When you design a system that works as intended, and the things that cannot be counted (those non-ideal behaviors) have been successfully designed out, or do not interfere by luck, it's a wonderful feeling. I believe in Mother Nature and Murphy. In, fact, I know them both quite well. It's nice to beat them at their own game. If I could bottle the feeling, I'd put cocaine out of business. Do I like electrical engineering? Yes. It's a legal high ...and it makes a good living.
