Day in the Life of a Mechanical Engineer in Sweden 

That's a bit random, don't you think? 😃🙈

Hi, thanks for the great question. That’s definitely a topic I have struggled with at times too! I can’t say I have the solution & I could (and probably will) make a whole video about this but here are some thoughts: - imposter syndrome: it helps to talk with others and realize that a lot of people struggle with this despite being great engineers. And for me it helped me to ask my manager exactly what’s expected of me because then I know, if I fulfill that, I’m doing my job. Then it just went away over time for me. - executive dysfunction: This one is more tricky because there can be a lot of different causes. To me it sounds like perfectionism is the cause for you where you make a task seem so intimidating that you don’t get started at all. What helps me is the always ask for a deadline when I get a task and to make sure that I have enough tasks to do at any given time. This might sound counterintuitive but when I have lots of things to do, I don’t have time to get hung up on any one of them and I just do them. I also like to make a todo list for the day but only write down the next small task needed for a given project, for example “schedule a meeting with x” instead of “work on the project”. And if I still have trouble getting started, sometimes it works to trick myself into working using the Pomodoro method. Then I set a timer for 25 minutes and tell myself that I will just try working for that time and then I can stop. But usually starting is the hardest part and I get into the task and then just ignore the timer and keep working. And sometimes I stop, take a break and then set another timer and just get through the day in little work intervals. It can be different from day to day what works. I hope this helps a little bit :)

Thanks! Good luck with your channel, I love the channel name!

Yeah I had to think of when you put something in the way of your sims and they freeze on the spot and call for help. That's how I feel in the factory sometimes lol 🤣

Great news! I'm in the process of starting a podcast where I interview other engineers and I'll try to also interview some colleagues on there. You can subscribe here so you don't miss it: www.youtube.com/@freshengineer

Great news, that gives you a lot of options! :D If you want the most math, you could go with Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering. If you want the most physics, you should probably go with Electrical Engineering (limited to electrics) or Mechanical Engineering (uses all types of physics). Hope this helps :)

@@theannareich Thanks a lot.

There is also a major in engineering math😃 Then there is a bit of physics and a looot of math🤓

Haha no that's just where I was staying while working at the factory (which is over 600km away from where I live). I do have my own apartment in Stockholm

In Sweden? I think the average starting salary for mechanical engineers is about 35.000 SEK per month.

What question can I help with?

I want to study mechanical engineering in Sweden, how can I apply scholarship to one the engineering schools

Thank you so much!!

So glad to hear it :) You can do it!

There not many undergrads engineering courses in English…. The best way is to get your bachelor and pursue your masters in Sweden . I hope you will find this helpful 😊

Hey dude are you still wants to study in Sweden ?

I aslo want to pursue mechanical engineering in Sweden

My master was Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in Production Technology :)
