You spelled "lawyer" really wrong! I am an engineer (choo choo) and I think quite a few engineers get pretty steamed up when the topic of lawyers comes around the corner, here she comes. "Parasites on society" / "Too much pay for too little meaningful work" / "Lawyers on both sides running up the bill" / "Patent trolls!"
Yeah, yeah, I know a lot of the trades folk have beefs (often legitimate) about we poindexter engineers.
Would lawyers qualify for "ultimate" sense of entitlement?
(when deflector shields are invented, engineers will be entitled to the credit)
Engineers don't let computers do all the work, but they are by nature lazy. Why do you think they invented the computers in the first place? They realized it would be a lot easier to let a machine do the work! So the engineer's laziness is not a bad thing, but rather a benefit for all of us.
I don't really get irked by someone being called an engineer, as long as their job requires them to use ingenuity to get things done. So an IT guy responsible for network architectures could rightly be called a systems engineer, but a trash collector probably isn't a sanitation engineer. That doesn't mean we degreed engineers don't view them the same way physicians view chiropractors
I'm laughing at this thread! My sisters new boyfriend is an electrical engineer and he is the laziest guy I ever met. He owns a large home outright and doesn't like doing ANY maintenance on it. Wont cut the grass etc..
Then he just got a new job and was complaining saying "i don't even know why I'm there" They just let him work from home 2 days a week and he goes "i really need it"
He always complains how exhausted he is from work. I wish I could just go to work and come home only mentally exhausted... I'm an electrician and I come home physically and mentally tired all the time.
I was going to become an electrical engineer myself but I like physical work too so I didn't.

Why didn't you put in the book time and study? It's all about remembering code and understanding fundamentals and apply it.
Electrical code hasn't changed that much the last 60 yrs you got it easy. Compare to other STEM degrees, your job is a joke.
Im one of the engineers without a degree. Its more common in the software side. I'm probably only 2 of the 20 or so engineers doing this work that doesn't have a degree, just lots of experience. My code quality is better then average. But we'd never hire someone without 4+ years of experience without a degree.
Engineers? lol, losers who have computers do all the work? What's to be proud of?
Remember the engineers for NASA in the 60's? Putting man on the moon with a slide rule? Now THAT was impressive.
I don't think engineers are happy having computers do all the work. I know some that would rather be out in the plant following the whole process then sit at their computers all day. They do long for the NASA days.
That's what I get from this board and other forums as well. How many of you on here think that many engineers have a sense of entitlement and should absolutely grateful that their jobs are either being outsourced or being taken by people imported from the third-world? For those that do, would you rather American students stop studying STEM entirely and we import everyone to do all of our engineering/scientific/technical work in the country?
You sounds super jelous.
