This reminds me of a funny interaction I had with one of my best friends and his father. My friend is an industrial engineer.
We were having a big dinner with a bunch of folks at a restaurant downtown after a wedding. My friend must have used the word "engineer" as least 5 times in 30 minutes while talking to some people that we had just met.
My friend's father interrupts him and says: "you keep calling yourself an engineer. You're an industrial engineer. That's like winning $10 after playing a rec league baseball game and then calling yourself a professional ball player."
Awkward moment at first but I think it was absolutely hilarious.
- floxy 2y agoWas he not actually an industrial engineer? Or maybe he didn't have a PE license? Just curious why this was funny. https://www.bls.gov/ooh/architecture-and-engineering/industrial-engineers.htm https://www.bls.gov/ooh/architecture-and-engineering/industr...
- hollywood_court 2y agoNo PE license but he is an industrial engineer. His dad was just poking fun at him because the industrial engineer track is the easiest. His dad is an electrical engineer.
