  4. AEROSPACE ENGINEER HERE: The answer is: Nobody listens to us. Its really that simple. Look at this story as an example. Do they ask an engineer to come on and explain it NO. We make the cameras, lights, microphones, transmission gear, TV sets and computers you all need to have a job. We also provide the electricity to power all of it. Do we get any respect from the media for making their jobs possible? NO Do we get any respect form anyone that the lights are turned on or you can sit there and read this on a computer designed by engineers, powered by engineers with software written by engineers? NO - like so many others you just whine that we aren't getting the job done. I am so sick and tired of all the people who aren't engineers interfering with engineers, interfering with how we do our work, interfering with our careers, and telling us how to do our jobs when they have no idea what our jobs are. As for education and training. Forget it, the clowns with economic degrees and MBAs wrecked that like they wrecked everything else they have touched for the last 50 years. Did you ever bother to stop and think that when engineers were NOT interfered with that we went to the Moon. Then once the Reaganomics and Thatcherism economics revolution arrived that it started to slide and slide and slide. I have been trying to tell people in my home country (Australia) we need to build new power stations. We all know we need them but EVERY PUBLIC DISCUSSION involves academics, economists, celebrities and all sorts of people EXCEPT ENGINEERS.
