Not just politics, I almost feel it can hamper you as an engineer. If you just do basic plumbing for 10 years, are you really an engineer with 10 YOE or one with 2YOE 5 times over because everyone needs a plumber?

2-3 years seems to be where that valuable plumbing experience starts to plateu. I don't know how engineers these days that move companies every other year even get a chance to grow when you're doing a soft restart at every job hop.
