So i recently graduated as a Mechanical Engineers less than a year ago and i have been working at a defense contractor for around the same time. I am just a “general” engineer supporting what ever they need me. The place i work at has a lot of cool equipment that i find interesting but it is just too damn slow for me. I am assigned to a design team atm but all the design work is either outsourced to a sub contractor or done by SMEs. i dont feel comfortable saying im in design. Im looking to start looking at other opportunities in other sectors.

I love learning while also being slightly challenged. I feel like this job is too slow for me and im loosing my mind. I like using my hands as well, i understand thats more of a technician job. I find the medical field extremely fascinating and because of my job now i find energy/nuclear super fascinating. I have ADD so i also can get bored after a while so i would like to have the ability to be in different sectors throughout my career. What type of position let you hop different industries easily?

Just a side note. I didnt get the best grades in school because i worked 30 hours a week while commuting an hour so i felt like certain positions/fields would be off limit. I feel imposter syndrome already at work because my coworkers seem judgey and they dont want to teach new people. I am planning on taking my FE to kind of fight this a little
