Because he can't spell or string a sentence together? Engineers need to be a bit more accurate than that. Their mistakes and sloppiness kill people.

Lickszz Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Far be it from me to tell someone they can't go down a particular career path because of supposedly bad grammar. There are various aspects to engineering like 'Refrigeration Engineer' for instance. Just because he wants something a little more physical I don't think that should limit him to 'Hod Carrying' or 'Gardening'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strix Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Now to address the other issue within this thread - I am sorry if anybody found my rather terse answer offensive, but as an engineer myself, I am repeatedly offended by the mis-use of the word. It is nearly always used where 'technician' would be more appropriate, and any eejit with a spanner also calls himself 'engineer'. I was decidedly miffed that 'engineer' was suggested so flippantly, in a fashion which suggests anybody can just walk in off the street and just be an engineer. Engineers are badly paid compared to the other 'professions', and their work is largely undervalued, especially in today's climate of popstardom. I sincerely hope Scotty finds himself a more fullfilling career, but if he chooses engineering, it will be very rewarding hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
