Bachelor of Fine Arts (Graphic Design) degree here, did it for 13+ years. Now a methodist minister. As others have lamented, I too am essentially an "amateur engineer" who loves making things work!

How many of the people that answered "engineer" in the poll can really be described as engineers?
Just 'cos the word is in your job title, it doesn'r mean you are one!
Oh wait. I re-designed the word doesn't in the last paragraph. That makes me a word engineer.
Many people are way too made up about their phoney job descriptions. Sales engineer? Really?
I think that it is not about how many homebrewers have jobs that say they are engineers.
It is more about how homebrewing makes people into engineers.
Are you perhaps a structural engineer that is a little sensitive about building targets? :cross:
BSEE Oregon State and proud of both.
Engineers are much more interesting than those who are jealous of them
I'm guessing I.T. person. Its the only position that would dare have a screen name of "boredatwork".
Just say what you are thinking instead of asking an offensive, rhetorical question.
On what scale are you measuring personality when you say "Engineers in general would be considered losers from a social perspective".
In my experience just some of the aspects of engineers are that they:
are hard working
have a much better than average understanding of the world around them
are very good at problem solving
have higher earning potential than non-scientific careers
Aren't these all good things? Maybe you don't like to be around highly educated, technically minded people but that doesn't make them losers.
I'm proud to be an engineer because I worked very hard to attain my Chemical Engineering degree. I know what it took to get it.
Of course, you mean this is what you think. After your repeated attempts to offend this Engineer-related thread, I would guess no one cares about your thoughts on anything.Engineers in general would be considered losers from a social perspective
My tittle is Maintenance engineer but i'm not a "True engineer". I take systems and make them work better, safer, faster, cheaper etc... Its the Kaizen theory(If you work with the Japanese you'll get it).
'92 BSME from Mich Tech U.
I voted not an engineer because my current job isn't engineering.
I do have dual degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering, an MBA, and love to cook.
Even though I'm a lawyer, can I call myself a legal engineer?
Of course, you mean this is what you think. After your repeated attempts to offend this Engineer-related thread, I would guess no one cares about your thoughts on anything.
Troll. There are very few of your kind on this board. That is one of the things that makes HBT such a relaxing place.
