>>11516848That's the deal bro, there's problem solving in engineering but not the kind of creativity you see in art, math, physics, philosophy, architecture, some other humanities that requires independent research. True creativity in engineering is absolutely useless and dangerous, everything in the field is constrained application and implementation of tried and true procedures
If you're not in the top 1% in your field and you're still paid well there is no creativity involved your job, just how it is.
