So.... I'm about to finish my masters degree in EE and I pretty much cheated through my undergrad and grad. I don't really feel like I know anything, I've been working for one of the large defense companies and feel like literally anyone can do my job; most of my work is a mix of googling how others have done something, stealing code, and assisting junior engineers and the operators/technicians.
When I'm asked for help I generally don't know anything about what they're asking and I usually just google their problem with them or just tell them to "reset" everything and see what happens (90% success rate, most of the time they don't like resetting shit because it takes too long).
I'm finishing up my thesis and by finishing up my advisor and other professors have basically done all the work for me and they told me how to answer the questions I'll be asked at my thesis defense.
I'm being pressured to get a doctorate degree which I have no intention of getting. I don't want to work in academia. I make a shit load of money and my managers have already told me I'm looking at a promotion and 20% raise once I get this extra piece of paper.
The worst part is, not even being arrogant, but the people I work for are literally retarded and there is so much bureaucracy sometimes I just do nothing for days and weeks and nobody cares. Not only does nobody care but they're under the impression that I'm hard at work "doing shit".
I don't know how to feel, I thought this career was going to be different but at this point I don't even know what I thought it would be anymore.
I don't know what I want or expect from this post, but there is no way I would ever express this feeling in real life to anyone and this is probably the only place I might possibly find anyone who shares anything like this.
