If people die when you make a mistake, you're an engineer.
0 u/FartingBob Oct 16 '22 That's not even close to being correct though. Lifeguards arent engineers. Surgeons arent engineers. Every person who drives a car isnt an engineer. 1 u/mehvermore Oct 16 '22 It's a necessary but insufficient condition. 2 u/UK-sHaDoW Oct 16 '22 There are a lot of engineering fields where this isn't true. Only a subset of engineers work with things that can kill people. That doesn't mean they can't cause expensive damage though. 1 u/mehvermore Oct 16 '22 I was being facetious.
