We’re live on ZF Live with answers to Cristian Hoștiuc:’s question: “Does it make sense, is it worth becoming an engineer?” in the same-titled article published lately in Ziarul Financiar. There are significant concerns about the balance between years of education and the income aspirations of young engineers. In a world of continuous change, the choice to become an engineer is not just a professional decision but also a personal one.

Ciprian Paltineanu, President of the Board and CEO of INSPET, offers his perspective: “It’s worth it, but only if you become a proficient engineer. Otherwise, it’s not worth it. 😀. Administratively imposing minimum salaries won’t help business or education, and may even encourage “diploma factories”. A diploma is not enough to perform in the actual economy; instead, work ethics, intellectual curiosity, a strong desire for learning, innovation and continual progress are very important. All of this revealed extensively and intensely throughout the critical years of professional debut.”

During the discussion, we talk about the progress and problems of the Romanian construction and engineering sectors. It’s crucial to look into these topics in order to better comprehend the path that people who desire to pursue this job can take.
