We're all plumbers. You need a degree to be an engineer. Not many plumbers have those.
Or a recognised apprenticeship, and the degree has to be in a recognised engineering discipline.
I used to work with a guy years ago, who insisted he was an IT engineer, as he has a degree. It was in history FFS!
I do not call myself an engineer; despite technically fitting the bill. There is disagreement amongst the boards of engineering principals that what I do is actually engineering because technically it doesn't put people's lives at risk if something I do fails; however with more and more of what I do directly affecting the telecommunications industry, the borders between those lines are becoming blurred. Everybody takes for granted that their phone will call 911 when they need it most.
But, I'm ok without that title. I'll continue to quietly make the modern world continue to tick, with the general lack of recognition most people who work in a public field get (same goes for most mechanics, paramedics etc). Enjoy the 21st cnetury. You're welcome.
Up far too early today, so a pre-dawn driving experience for Ricky.

He agrees that driving at night is okay if you know the street you're driving on. Surprisingly the headlights on the golf cart are actually quite good.
