[ Make/Move/Maintain ]

In the STEM or knowledge work areas, it might be true to say every job is related to one or more of ‘making’, ‘moving’ or ‘maintaining’ something.  And that something is usually something tangible.  I suppose in some maths or science careers, this simple model may be a stretch. 

I like that I work on making, moving, or maintaining tangible things like linear and energy infrastructure.  I like that tangible STEM knowledge work requires exactly that: knowledge.  Working with knowledge is satisfying.  The act of using that knowledge to make, move or maintain our society is satisfying and also uplifting.
