In my French class at school, we've been given an assignment to do a presentation on a career of our choice (in French, of course). Not necessarily a career that we actually want to have, but just one that interests us. Since I'm a railfan and have knowledge of the occupation already, I decided to do my presentation on being a locomotive engineer. One of the requirements of the assignment is that we do an interview with someone who has that occupation. Not a bad idea, although I think it would be just a bit difficult to find an interviewee if someone chose to do an astronaut or a CIA agent. Anyway, I was hoping that some of our members who happen to be engineers could help me out by answering some questions. And no, you don't have to answer them in French! Here they are: 1. Why did you choose to become a locomotive engineer? 2. Give a description of what you did in order to become an engineer. 3. What do you enjoy about your job? 4. What don't you like about your job? 5. If you had the opportunity to go back in time and choose a different occupation, would you still become an engineer? 6. Would you recommend becoming an engineer to people who are choosing a career? 7. Are there any misconceptions that you feel people may have about being a locomotive engineer that you would care to address? 8. Is there anything else that you haven't mentioned yet that you would care to tell? Thank you to everyone who responds! This should be fun and we'll probably learn a thing or two about some of our members.
