Kind of a big favor to ask, but would you mind answering some or all of these questions? I need to do an interview essay for my worthless English class on the career that I plan to enter into. I’ve already got one person to answer the questions, but I need at least 2. If you don’t feel like answering all, it would still be helpful to answer some of the questions and another EE can pick up the rest (I’ll just say that one person answered all of them). I will also need the name and specific profession (place of work, title) of one person, a second if a majority of the answers are answered twice. I’m going to start the paper around Saturday, so you can answer until then. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.
