I've been wrenching on aircraft for 38 years and have come to the conclusion that aerospace engineers and designers are the most evil bastards on the face of the earth. Especially the guys at Grumman.

Look, I eat meat, but the vegan carbon footprint is low so they are literally saving the rainforests.
Engineers are the ones who came up with wind turbines, nuclear stations, solar panels, etc. My statement still stands.

Every car, airplane, highway, bridge, airport, train, subway, etc, etc, was designed by an engineer. This would be a forum about the 4-legged, one-horse-power, single seat bronco if we didn't have engineers. And the streets would be 12' deep in horse poo because engineers design the sewer systems too.

Being a machinist and welder for the last 35 plus years I have my own opinion on engineers lol.

But it worked perfect on their computer. ?
If I had $5.00 for each time I was told that I would have one heck of a down payment ?

Saying 'I am an Engineer' is not the new 'I am a Vegan'.

As an Engineer, trust me, we don't just go around telling everyone.

No, they are eating the Rainforest.
By not eating meat, they do not require clearcutting rainforests to have massive plots of land for cattle. Plus producing pound of beef requires 36 times the carbon footprint as a pound of asparagus. This contributes to regulating global temps, which if everybody did it, would also save the rainforests.

In my first career as a drafter, I was working primarily with engineers: mechanical, electrical, optical, and even a couple of biotech engineers. I could never do what they do and admire the ones who can.

As I often tell my students who are thinking about pursuing engineering... It is job uses a crazy amount of both your left and right brain. A lot of creative people struggle with math and a lot of people who find math easy struggle with being creative. But a good engineer has to be good at both.?

I don't necessarily think the comment about "the new vegan" should be limited to engineers. I found that a lot a people with careers that take over your life and start to affect who you are as a human being, are the people who often tell others what they do because it is part of who they are: nurses, lawyers, musicians, teachers, artists, etc.

I rarely told anyone what I did for a living during the nineteen years I did drafting, unless they asked. But everyone knows what I do for a living now (including all y'all) because it is part of who I am.

Engineers must be able to laugh at themselves. Wait, the ones I've had rarely had a personality! lol

Accountants can laugh at ourselves, especially when we're glad we're not engineers.

Is there where I can add that at least engineers have a purpose!? Thank you, God, for them so we don't die.
