Yeah, I think engineers have decent prestige, what we lack is business leverage. Which to me is the real indicator of class.
In terms of leverage, we are on par with administrative office workers, construction workers and labourers - It didn't have to be that way, but companies have managed to turn us into replaceable commodities.
I think that even sales people and HR recruiters these days have more leverage than we do.
