Opinion,

Have you chosen one of the many languages spoken in China to be your bi-lingual mate yet?
Mandarin would be good as you could talk to Kevin at parties.

If the only dollars I ever had were from an engineer exclaiming "We're just like doctors" I'd be penniless.

Noting "No more than 8 posts per article in any given 24 hour period" I'll bow out of repetitious posting of stuff posted already or phobias about engineers, and suggest the Deppity Dawg claque do likewise.

Dear EmperorJulian,

I think I'm the engineer you heard exclaiming 'I'm NOT like a doctor!' The only reason I can claim that is because I also have degrees in anthropology, sociology and history.

Unless the US wants to give Hawaii back to the Hawaiian people its like the pot calling the kettle black.

I'll defend engineers and their broad array of usefulness.

One may take an engineering course and become a structural engineer creating all sorts of wonders of construction.

An engineer may take up a biomedical engineering position creating medical devices to help peoples quality of life in suffering medical conditions.

Engineers to design and build planes, cars, trains...

I'll certainly defend them, we probably wouldn't be a civilized society without them.

I'd say the first engineer took up his position the day humans invented a hammer.

Pretty important in the whole scheme of things...
Only a fool would disagree, sorry EmperorJulian, though I generally agree with a lot of the other things you usually have to say on different topics.

I'll try to sneak another post in.

Armchair Critic, I can't see where what I have written about engineers disagrees with what you have just written. Are you sure you're not responding to someone else?
