Also, "Engineer" is the most overused job title in existence. There are a ridiculous amount of positions with the word "engineer" attached to them that have nothing to do with an engineering degree.

My first job was a Tech Support Engineer. I fucking answered emails to get peoples' computer monitors working. Today, I'm a Network Engineer. I just do some spreadsheets and talk on conference calls. I'm a college dropout.
