I had my first co-op/internship full time job about 12 years ago and I just took a new position this January in the Geotech Consulting field as an "entry level" engineer. I've been working on and off since 1998 (over 6 full time years straight after graduation, 1.5 years of full time co-op during school, part-time engineering work between classes and hiring freeze approx 2 years) and I have yet to see any decent financial reward or personal satisfaction for my work and I find that most people in this field have little to no practical function.

I respect these humble positions to some extent, but I feel I am surrounded by eggheads. I cant seem to pass the Geotech PE and work continues to frustrate me. Anyone here work in the field of estimating, project management, product R&D, tech support/sales, who can offer a testimonial for a career change?
