I'm 57, and I'd like to say I'm an engineer, but the word is debased currency these days. People like me, who have done the studying, can design systems and circuits, write international standards, climb a transmitter tower in a gale, get you a telecomms license and shmooze middle eastern potentates etc etc are engineers. The chap who comes to look at my busted washing machine and announce it is beyond repair - he is an engineer too, as is the bloke who sits at a mixing desk with not the slightest clue as to what he is doing, and moves a fader while trying to look cool. I don't feel that inclined to call myself an engineer these days. d -- Pearce Consulting http://www.pearce.uk.com The Ubiquitous "Sanitation Engineer" ! -a la- Dilbert ;-} http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilber...haracter3.html |
