   Nice anecdote there. Engineers are entitled to the big money because they   
   make the sacrifice in time and effort   
   to get the piece of paper that indicates their level of achievment. However   
   they do not have the right to think that anybody who hasn't got a degree is   
   inferior in intellect or talent .   
   I'm an electrican myself, and I have spent time behind a trade counter at a   
   supplier of electrical components at one time. I would love a dollar for   
   every time a so called electrical engineer would come in and act as if they   
   knew it all. But it wasn't long in talking before you picked up their   
   ignorance about the part and it's installation.   
   Engineers don't know it all but they are supposed to be equipped with the   
   knowledge in how to find out how to do something and as somebody said put   
   their reputation on the line as to the safety and reliability of what they   
   design. That's what the big dollars are for and they are entitiled to it for   
   the above reasons. But why worry about people who want to call themself an   
   engineer without the ticket unless they are more successful? Perhaps she   
   should call herself a hardware configuration specialist or programmer or   
   some such but why nitpick.
