      Hello,

      Good question!

      I would class myself as being knowledgable about my field of engineering. Compared to my senior colleagues I’m not very clever at all!

      Hmmm.. I wouldn’t say so. I know a lot about a very small area of engineering but there are many aspects I know nothing about. But that’s ok because engineers work in teams where everyone brings some different knowledge so that everyone together in the team is clever!

      I would say I’m clever at maths and science but not clever at other subjects! I think it’s important to do what you love, and you’ll do well, so if you like maths and science- do it!

      I would say i’m clever 🙂 because im always asking questions…
      remember its not about the answers you give, but its about the questions you ask. Always be hungry for knowledge

      Hi Music1

      Good question! I think I know a lot about some things, but I know I don’t know a lot about most things!

      What I find is that people are more impressed if you don’t know something but make an effort to find out about it – the drive for more knowledge is a very engineering thing I think!

      So no, not clever – just prepred to learn more!
