This is a question that is a real bug bear for me. Whenever anybody asks me what it is I do at Uni, my answer is the standard "oh I do Civil Engineering." The look of confusion on most peoples faces was hilarious to begin with but now it is beginning to agitate me. To many people the engineer is somebody who comes round to fix your boiler or redo your wiring in your house! Now while these people are highly skilled individuals, I am sorry but I find it an insult to be compared with them. An engineer would have come up with the design of the boiler making it work properly as a prototype, making it efficient as possible and would be the reason the skilled workers have jobs! Now I realise I may come across as a bit of a snob here, and I make no apologies for that, but people need to realise the differences here. People always ask me the same question..."Why do you go to Uni to be a builder!!" WTF no I am not a builder. I design big structures like the shopping centres, roller coasters, football stadia that you all love to use/visit. I make sure they are structurally sound using maths that is so mind boggling I dont even know how i manage it. Please people give us Engineers the respect we deserve. Without us, we would all still be in the stone ages!!!
Big love xx
