Work experience

Why is my job too easy?
I’m in engineering, and I thought that work should be extremely hard but it’s too easy to the point that you don’t work more than 1-2h a day. And most of the work is something anyone can do.
Anyone with a similar experience?

Dont you have to solve differential equations as part of your engineering work? you have to take that class as part of getting any engineering degree. That has to be hard to do. 🎃

@Tastyfrzz Laplace transforms allow you to get around using calculus. FEA??????? the software will design the circuits like an audio amplifier or a microstrip line designing microwave circuits? Do you do single stub and double stub impedance matching for microwave transmission lines? do you still draw out a smith chart by hand or do you use a computer for that? Do you still use the Wilkinson bridge to split a microwave strip into two strips for splitting a signal or for combining two signals? do you still use Claude Shannon's information theory for handling rf design for transmitting information? lidar system for the police measuring the speed of cars? how much instant laser eye surgery is done by lidar systems? G. Gordon Liddy who was a special operative for the white house and has ties to the intel community said the liability lawyers are drooling over the lawsuits from the instant laser eye surgery done by the laser speed guns. are you enjoying the Halloween season? 🎃

@trackboy those areas are beyond me. I'm a mechanical enginèer that occasionally has to take on other things. The clisest I've come to mixrowaves was in investigating if they could erase media.

@Tastyfrzz it sounded like you were doing electrical engineering with the optical clock and with the lidar laser cavity. how do you like mechanical engineering? making a fortune at it? 🎃

Most jobs tend to be repetitive and routine. Unless you are in a creative field or work in a situation where there is discovery to be made or stimulating problems to be solved, you will find a lot of paid work boring. The trick is to be able to do the mundane and have your mind on more stimulating ideas.
Are you new to the job? Either they are overwhelmed and dont have the time to show you how to get things done, they dont trust you yet enough to give you much real work, they're testing you out to see how your work ethic is, or they're winding down, preparing to let you go. Purely guessing.

It depends on where you work and what your position is. I'm in R&D so it's pretty constant. Plus we're understaffed so i cover a lot of different things and I've been here many years so i get asked a lot of questions.
