      I would like to, one day, teach at a higher level what I have learned over the years.

      Every single day as an engineer is a learning experience and there are always other people who can teach you more than what you know.

      Yes, I always want to know how things work. I like taking stuff apart when I first get it, so I can see what’s going on in there, and whenever something breaks I always try to repair it myself.

      I don’t think I want to go deeper than engineering, but sometimes I look at problems in the world like the climate and I find it frustrating because I think maybe if people took an engineering or a science approach, trying just to weigh up evidence, it would be easier. But not everyone thinks the same way and they decide based on different feelings and thoughts.
