We make steel, titanium and paint out of rocks. Everything breaks all the time. The unionized workers make more than engineers, but there's no union for engineers...
a lot of sales engineers are not real engineers but i am! i worked hard for that degree!!
i design and sell large hvac equipment mostly to hospitals and universities. sometimes to someone cool like a brewery.
used to brew beer but im 2 disabled for that anymore.
i would rather be a full time fiber artist / eco home consultant / death doula.
someday !
