      Nope.
      Although it can be, depending on what you do.
      My job is mostly desk based but even out on site, everything is fairly clean.
      Its important to have sites as clean as possible for health and safety reasons.

      Engineer comes from the French word Ingenue which means Ingenious…. nothing to do with engines.

      So whilst you might think engineering is a dirty job, generally it is not. Sure there are some jobs which are very hands on but then on the other hand there are some of the cleanest jobs available. Go into a micro-electronics fabrication lab and you will be in a super clean room.

      I don’t have a dirty job but I sometimes get wet when I’m on site.

      No, not really although my lab can be dirty some times.

      Nope, thankfully! Or I think I would be reconsidering my job 🙂
