You have a point there. I am mechanical engineer now doing software and I really miss seeing and touching(!) the final product. When I did commercial software at least you saw something on the screen quickly. Now I am in medical devices and I almost never get to witness or experience the results of my work. When you are done with something it still takes often years to get it to market. Add to that all the reporting requirements and the actual work is totally detached from the product.
I definitely miss direct contact with the results of my work.
