Hi Jonah!
Thanks for asking such a great question. I chose electrical engineering back in high school, inspired by an extracurricular activity called First Robotics. Working with a team to develop the electrical system for a robot was amazing. We tackled challenges like autonomous navigation and precision tasks, and seeing my designs come to life and help my team succeed was truly motivating.
At university, I continued with robotics, joining the Robotics for Space Exploration team to build Mars rovers. These projects deepened my love for electrical engineering. I also enjoyed solving small electrical issues at home, like fixing wires or replacing fuses. I even repaired a remote-controlled car once! These experiences have all fueled my passion for this field.

I always liked electrical stuff. I wanted to work with my hands. I really wasn't a carpenter and I didn't want to deal with plumbing issues. So electrician!
Really though I was taking apart phones and TVs since I was about 8 (that was when they actually had discrete parts inside them). Really liking what you do (work) makes the day go by so much faster. All jobs have negative aspects to them, but when you like the work it makes it so much easier to get by the negatives. While money obviously is important it shouldn't be the sole reason for picking a line of work.
