Worked w some masters and PHD that were good people and good at their jobs

Worked with some that were worthless all the way around.

GM used to have non degreed engineers, worked with some.good ones.

EE and computer guys were the insecure back stabbing screw ups. Suckasses too.

Very, very few. The oil and gas industry does not tolerate incompetence.

I was wondering where the engineers in the Public Works Department I worked for came from.
We had plenty of incompetent's.

Those that can't cut it or even be hired in the private sector go work for the public sector and that's not just engineers.

2nd biggest lie in the world, "Hi I'm from engineering, I'm here to help.

Mining engineer in W.VA says to trying to impress worker on a job site by quoting the formula, "pi r squared". Local responds, no pie are round.

I have a close friend who is a very successful engineer in the aerospace business. He makes a nice living figuring out how to fix the fuckups the blue-collar production/mechanic supermen who know everything make.
