I think you need to find something you love. Maybe open a restaurant. Work is natural and fulfilling if you like what you do. You don't have to be an engineer.

I think you need to find something you love. Maybe open a restaurant. Work is natural and fulfilling if you like what you do. You don't have to be an engineer. We are all just carbon, there is no god, this is your only life. It's not a contest. Find something you love. It's not work you don't feel like doing, it's this work. There is work out there that you can love you just have to find it.
- saaaaaam 5y agoMaybe open a restaurant. I get - loosely - what you are saying. I loosely applaud your sentiment. But at the same time I am somewhat gobsmacked by how glib it is. I worked in the restaurant trade. I have many friends who still do. It is tough, it is graft, you will feel under appreciated and it requires a lot of money and talent and great people to make it work. So yes: open a restaurant. If you’ve not worked in the restaurant trade it’s a great way to feel awful and lose a lot of money quickly. Equally, open a book store. Or a blacksmith’s. Or a tailor. Or dog sitter. Or a hedge fund. Or a niche thermoplastics engineering consultancy. All of these things could fulfil you more, and you’ll hire a bunch of people who do the bulk of the work apart from the bit that matters. But equally they could make everything worse.
