I have a very simple proposal. start up an airline that bans children below age 10.
99% of the time when i travel the fuckheads that hold everything up are the soccer moms and their 2 kids and a pram bullshit. and then once your up in the air the little cunts scream and carry on. just to top it off they only take infants because it's free, only it's not free everyone else is paying for it.
the moment there is a no children airline, sign me up.
I travel a fair bit for work, and I can assure you that traveling anywhere near a miserable asshole like yourself is far, far worse than a planeload of children.
At least children have an excuse for acting as they do. What's yours?
Your lack of familiarity shows through pretty well in your comments.
All engineering programs in Canada have to show adherence with overall engineering program requirements, which is audited every year. (As an engineer I've witnessed these audits firsthand.) The SW eng programs I'm familiar with are heavily elec-eng based, with a strong background in math, statistics, and computer hardware engineering (chip design, solid-state physics, etc...).
In fact, many software engineering programs are common with hardware engineering and electrical engineering for a number of program years, splitting first off from electrical, and finally from hardware in 3rd or 4th year.
Shit, do at least some basic research.
Computer Science and Software Engineering are not the same things.
A Software Engineer has attended university for Engineering and has specialized in software.
Being a doctor is no less rigorous than being an engineer, but doctors don't get to call themselves engineers either, because they're not engineers. Just like you don't call yourself a software doctor or a software astronaut, the word "engineer" actually means something. It has a specific (and legal) definition. In my province, for example, professional engineers are required to perform such duties as certifying electrical plans and building plans and ensuring that they meet safety codes. There is a reason that the profession is legally defined and regulated.
Applying the term arbitrarily to any profession or occupation ("customer service engineer") is ludicrous.
And yes, in Canada you can become an _actual_ software engineer. You would do so by attending university, studying engineering, and pursuing the software discipline.
