I love product development and quality engineering. There are days when I can’t believe that I actually get paid to do this. Between you and me, I’d do this work for a lot less money. In fact, even on the days that I hate the particular circumstances of my job, I still love my job. If that makes any sense.

So, when I set out to write this post, my intent was to include a fun and entertaining analysis (performed in Minitab, of course) of the statistics supporting engineering as a great career choice. I thought for sure there would be overwhelming research to suggest that I wasn’t crazy, and that engineering is that awesome. We are part of a noble profession. One that put a man on the moon, for goodness sake.
