      Very dedicated. I really enjoy doing what I do. There are times when something won’t work and that gets me down, but I persist with it and eventually it all works out. Engineers don’t walk away from a project or an idea unless they figure out it’ll never work or the technology isn’t available yet.

      Incredibly dedicated. Almost to the point of obsession.
      You’re supposed to work to live, but I live to work.
      I guess I’m a nerd.

      I would say I’m really dedicated. I think when you work in a job you enjoy you can’t help but be dedicated – you want to do the best job you can and are always thinking of new better ways to do things.

      Very dedicated. My work involves developing wind farms to help Ireland reduce it’s greenhouse gas emissions. I take this so seriously that I have modified my home so it is heated entirely by renewable energy.

      456… this is an interesting question that the other guys maybe havent stopped to think enough about.

      Years ago when I left a company I remained as a consultant to them as I was dedicated to the company… BUT later I have realised its not the company.. its the actual work.. in my case I want marine renewables to work.. so whether I work in UCC or my own company I am dedicated to my field of work!
