      Yeah sometimes I wish I had my own company instead of working for someone else… But that can be really hard as you have to come up with an amazing idea and get investment!

      Sometimes. It can be stressful and at times you wish you were outside on a warm day but then you remember the other days when you are working with cutting edge tech or the little change you make will be seen by lots of people.

      No – sometimes I envy my friends or people who are able to work jobs that they dont really care about. Sometimes I think it would be nice to be able to clock-out at 5pm and not think about work until the next morning. Instead my work is often all I think about – it fascinates and engages me so much I find that I cant disengage, even when I take holidays. I’m obsessed in the same way I was when I was a child and all I wanted to do is play soccer.

      However I know now that this is my calling in life. I’d be lost if I couldn’t do it. Maybe someday I will set up a company. But it will almost definitely be a robotics company. At the very least an engineering related company.

      Sometimes. But that doesn’t last for very long.

      Sometimes I wish to learn more fast how to manage the 3 jobs I have…….Sometimes I feel under the stress and nervous but that s because I am still learning. In the end I am still a (PhD) student like you!
