you work on projects to build, design, improve and use what you can. You're always looking at ways to improve some sort of system, and that's what they're mostly hired for; to do things better and at a lower cost.

If you can't get a circuit to work and do or measure anything practical, or you think it's too overwhelming to get a pizza box to float with a 1mm clearance from the ground with calculated stability without going overbudget, then you won't make it as an engineer. You never will. It's basically the poor man's law/med school.
