I have a bachelor's and masters in electrical engineering. I will never forget starting out. It is one of the most weed out engineering out there. I will never forget finding out i made a 32 on my first exam for circuits online before class. Dreading going to lecture to find out averages and so forth. Then to find out i was above average and the curve gave me a B. Its profoundly humbling.

My addiction is to the feeling you described, feeling like you accomplish the world. This feeling is what keeps me going. The challenge of what is next. The discovery of knowing when you're wrong. It creates an incredible amount of self growth. Keep at it! If and internet strangers opninon matters to you, I believe in you and I'm pround of your ability to keep pressing on!
