Three Temp Engineers at My Work, One Quits...... 1

There were 3 Temp engineers at my work hustling to catch up projects that are coming to deadline.
Mostly it is grunt work, not truly engineering design, just tough, nuts-and-bolts kind of shit.
So this one dude, I called him Neanderthal on account of the shape of his head, He quit today. He said he wanted to do design work, and this shit is beneath his dignity. LOL.
Now, the light at the end of the trouble is a perm job after 3 months. At a bigger salary than a temp.
Now, I don't know the salary this dude was making but he was pretty senior, but at what they pay me--and they pay, really, really generously--I don't give a fuck if they tell me to clean the shitters out with my bare hands, I'm going to do it like its the last job on earth.
Man who in the fuck would give up a high paying job because it is boring. maybe this dude was as dumb as he looked.

You never know with people. Money isnt always everything. Some would trade $$$ for a more relaxed environment.

Maybe the dude was a hell of a lot smarter than you thought because he hid it from people and it truly was a job under him.

Was he field eng?
The site I work at hires these kids right out of college and I have to teach them basic math. They're shocked to find out working at a nuke plant isn't sitting around playing with instruments all day. I had one quit the moment he looked at the 200 ft ladder he'd have to climb.

I get paid really well for an easy job and I am thinking about quitting because its just too easy. I like a challenge and I feel like I could do more somewhere else. Where I am now I am underemployed and my skills are going unused. I couldn't imagine working in an office or going to the same place everyday. To me that seems extremely boring. Some people just need excitement and challenges. Some people won't be happy no matter where they work.

Not as far as I know. They were looking for senior engineers with analog, RF, design skills, and who had strong project management background. I mean, circuit design is such a small part of engineering, especially in a complex system like a Nuclear Power Plant's instrumenattion system.
