Sorry, but scientists and engineers are completely different career paths. The schools are different. The coursework is different. The certification is different. The job skills are different. The job experience is different. You are talking about similarities of the fundamental undergraduate education, which is not the same as a terminal professional degree or certificate.

A person can take a variety of undergraduate science and math courses, and yet go into the profession of medicine or journalism or business or law. None of these professions would be the same as being a professional scientist. Likewise being an engineer is a different profession than being a scientist. Furthermore, hard scientists are a very specific subset of all scientists.

We’ll agree to disagree. Of course they’re different or they would be the same. I never said they were exactly the same, but they are not completely different. Art would be completely different. Journalism would be completely different.
