No comment on bean counters, but the only thing greater than the conceit of an engineer is his lack of wit. See Schumpeter if you don’t believe!

My Dad was an engineer. From my perspective, I’ve noticed they are boring but make good husbands.

I am an engineer and though I disagree about the wit I do agree about the conceit.

So many engineers and physicists think they know everything. I spent many years working with some of the brightest in the world (not me, them) and very few lacked hubris. It was tough to work with many of them for that reason.
