I no longer build software; I now make furniture out of wood.

    I always thought about going to be a farmer. Then I watched some videos from farmers and realized they are also engineers.

        Who is saying that?

        There’s too much virtue signaling here. No engineer thinks poorly of the trades. That’s the point of the conversation.

        I just made a joke about how burger flippers can be called engineers, and I have a PhD.

          The one that I never could accept was “sanitation engineer” for a janitor. Mostly because the rebranding implies you should be ashamed of the job.

            Again, who is saying that? I don’t find janitorial duty shameful neither do I find sanitation engineer shameful. That’s you

            I guess you’d also rather be called butcher or barber than surgeon?

            After all, rebranding implies you’re ashamed.

              The superintendent of my high school said that. I saw the job title change on the staff roster. Sorry I didn’t bring a strawman to the argument you could knock over.
