    Yeah, it’s easy to dismiss manual jobs as “dumb stuff for non educated people”, but when we got off our high horses we realize we’re bigots and that they deserve any and all forms of respect.

      Who is saying that?

      There’s too much virtue signaling here. No engineer thinks poorly of the trades. That’s the point of the conversation.

      I just made a joke about how burger flippers can be called engineers, and I have a PhD.

          Again, who is saying that? I don’t find janitorial duty shameful neither do I find sanitation engineer shameful. That’s you

          I guess you’d also rather be called butcher or barber than surgeon?

          After all, rebranding implies you’re ashamed.
