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

    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.
