Engineers Working Harder for Their Paycheck
Editorgirl35 writes to tell us Design News has posted their annual engineering salary survey. While it does offer encouraging results with salaries up a bit from last year it also shows that engineers are, on the average, doing a lot more to earn that paycheck including supervisory and budgetary functions. From the article: "Kody Baker, a 28-year-old mechanical engineer agrees, "Yes, we are doing far more than just designing products," he says. He's a project manager, manufacturing engineer, product designer, R&D engineer, test engineer, CAD systems specialist, CAD instructor/mentor, and more, juggling many roles in his job as a mechanical application engineer at Honeywell."
> So can you tell me what other duties a professional asshole has?
Oh, like Steve Gilmor and John Dvorak? Poop all over the (printed|web)page.
And Engineers are the retards of the regular world.
Who do you call when your PC or workstation craps out? Who do you call when your measurements database is shitting and you don't know why?
You call IT. And we fix your problem, regardless of the fact that you're generally snotty, unappreciative, and antisocial. And you still look down on us. Well, from one "IT" person to an "Engineer", get fucked. Wait, I forgot - that isn't possible.
Ok, go fuck yourself then, asshole.
Aw did he strike a nerve?
I personally have only ever met a very few IT guys that were useful beyond fixing just the simplest
computer problems. Even now at the school I'm at I spend most of my TA time doing the IT guys job
for them because they're too stupid to figure out how to install an application so it works.
IT guys are guys who think they're uber 1337 because they know C and couldn't hack it as an engineer.
Well... you're stupid!
Stupidity is like nuclear power, it can be used for good or evil. And you don't want to get any on you.
No one is entitled to even get a god-damned paycheck let alone a god-damned high wage. If these fucktards are so unsatisfied with their checks, why don't they fucking quit and give their jobs over to someone in another fucking country that will be more than fucking happy to work, even if it's for absolutely nothing. Then when they can't find a god-damned mother fucking job that pays what those crybabies want, then they will eventually fucking die.
