Whoa! WHOA! No one said anything about "useful!" Let's not get crazy.

Electrical Engineering, Purdue, 2007.
Of course, most people equate this with 'electrician' or 'lineman'.
"Well, I'm not actually an electr- <sigh> Yeah, it's fine, I'll take a look at your panel."
NERDS!
Horrors! You should never give anything to an engineer for repair, and especially do not give a perfectly good device to an engineer for him to "examine" or "play with." You want it fixed, give it to a technician, he's not near as likely to try to "improve" it or add a death ray or some such. If it is not broken, an engineer will take it apart "just to see" and it will never quite work right again. Especially since he reprogrammed it to emit a death ray when you hold the select and option buttons simultaneously. Be careful where you point that thing.
how dare you, sir.
I mean, a lot of that is sort of true... but I still say how dare you.

Indeed.
Everyone knows the button combination is UP-UP-DOWN-DOWN-LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT-RIGHT-B-A.
Engineers!!?!?!
The mortal enemy of technicians...you guys are the reason my hands are 90% scar tissue.
I believe all (mechanical) engineers should have to spend time on the service line before they are set free to cram components into designs wherever AutoCad claims they'll fit.
Well, at least I have you all in one place...time to cluster ban everyone!
Long ago just after the slide rule, during computer punch cards, and as personal computers were coming on the scene, I graduated from the then all male Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology with a BS in chemical engineering. Ta-da....
My Dad frequently spoke about his issues with the young guys just out of college, even graduate school, not knowing how to do what he did with his high school diploma and DeVry certificate.
Same with my dad. He never got a degree, and was more intelligent and skilled than his degreed peers. Of course, he worked for DOD, which means that the less-capable ones got the promotions over him, merely because they had degrees.
Finally, a place for us Enginerds!
