Unlike most professions, engineering focuses on increasing your own abilities. While other professions make things anyone can use, most of the engineering items can only be used by engineers. They make such fun items too. You can get remote controls, mechanical chickens and dragons, rocket boots, scuba helmets, parachute cloaks, recovery items, shrink rays, mind control helmets, and even make your own helicopters. Engineering is usually very bad for making money but if you aren't in it for the gold, you will love this profession.
Every man dies, but few truly live. Live your life to its fullest, every day as if it were your last.
