Stop projecting.
I’m not jealous in the slightest. If I wanted to spend my time going to college then I would. There’s little upside for me to do so. What exactly would gain from that other than the lost time of being productive at what I already do?
You just can’t wrap your brain around someone being a very successful engineer without first passing through the gates of higher education.
Institutions of higher education are not the gate keepers of knowledge nor are they the arbiters of critical thinking.
Funny how you blame others as being the “same way” I am without ever looking into the mirror first. Perhaps it isn’t everybody else with the attitude issues... And in truth you know essentially nothing about me, but call me a fraud... All the labeling and hostility is coming from you and you don’t even really know the facts at hand. Again that doesn’t bode well for your engineering skills. Lots of judgement, little actual information.
Good. You may have a higher IQ than me, you may be wealthier than me. You probably know more about your field than a PhD. But I can call myself a Professional Engineer (PE) and not be a fraud, you cannot. Nothing can change that. Agree?
