If your talking about becoming an Electrical Design Engineer, then try getting a into position as a trainee/junior design engineer preferably with a Consultant Engineering practice or with one of the bigger contractors Engineering design office. The only way your going to become proficient is under the tutorship of experienced electrical design Engineers. There is a lot more to design engineering than first meets the eye, and if you don't have the aptitude for it, it'll become very boring very quickly!! I can tell you now, i have every respect for a good Electrical Design Engineer that has years of experience under his belt....
I went through 2 years post graduate in the companies design office as the then requisite requirement, of becoming Chartered. I didn't take to it at all, it was interesting and new for say the first 12 months, and thereafter more repetitive, or maybe it was being stuck in an office environment that i disliked!! lol!! At least it served it's purpose in the end!! But it did give me the a bloody good insight and the ability to design review all manner of electrical construction and schematic drawings, which i have been doing in one form or another ever since, and in fact at this very moment!! lol!!!
