darkvapor 0 #52 August 31, 2002 You hit it on the head right there... Every Joe calls himself an engineer even if they are truly not. Engineer has really become a term used loosely lately. Me? Yes.. I am an engineer. A rocket scientist to be exact.. :) --Vadim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meatmissile 0 #53 August 31, 2002 Me too, robotics to be exact. But I don't get excited about plumbers calling themselves "sanitary engineers" or chefs calling themselves "cullinary engineers" and such. Not to mention the myriad of IT geeks out there calling themselves "network engineers" and suchlike. An engineer builds engines of all types (check origin of the word engine before going over to attack mode) You know when you are one. When your mum doesn't even return your calls -- ZZZzzzz....

phillipabell 0 #54 August 31, 2002 Used to be a rocket scientist, but gave it up. Didn't pay that well. Actually, Lockheed Martin Astronautics was my first job out of school (it was Martin Marietta Astrounautics back in the old days). If I was still working there, I would be making as much money (or less, probably) as when I started. Personally, I'm an engineer posing as an IT person - talk about belittling! Did you hear about the prostitute that called herself an "entertainment engineer" ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
