I see that it can look like that, and you saying so doesn't offend me at all. That might even be true for some people, but luckily we are different.
It's not like I can't get a job. It's about one month since I was done, and I need some vacation after those last 6 months. People say that there usually is a new rush of jobs in the fall.
I didn't become an engineer because it would be easy to get a job, nor because of the money. I did it to work with something I like, and, more importantly, to work with things I like for the rest of my life. This means that I need variation in the every day tasks. I love cars, but I think I might have grown sick of being a car mechanic after 20 years. I know that there are loads of different possible careers for car mechanics (just a random example), but I think that an engineer has more potential for diversity.
When I've had so much fun on the way, there is no doubt in my mind that this was the right thing to do for me. No time wasted yet!
im hopefully starting my masters course in motorsport engineering at brunel this september, hope i end up with the same results as you 
in enginnering rather than science however 
Then how come you can't get a Job..
