Question: Do you enjoy working with magnets?

It is not something that I ever imagined myself doing, but I do enjoy my work. I trained in aeronautical engineering and I think to some extent that my job now is applying a lot of the same skills as being an engineer would be (even if the actual knowledge that I apply is really physics) – I spend a lot of time problem solving, so asking difficult questions, gathering as much information as I can and then using that information to find a solution. I also enjoy managing projects – making sure that everyone has what they need at the right time to be getting on with their role, and working together in a team until everything starts coming together.
