This is exactly what I am talking about. Why do you think that "much was given" to the engineers of the world, but not to others? Engineers may be blessed with talents in engineering, but novelists are blessed with the gift of writing. Why should engineers be expected to engineer things for charitable causes anymore than writers should be expected to use their talents similarly? Engineering isn't some uniquely special skill; it is one of many. Yet it uniquely is singled out as being a skill that bequeaths the holder with some extra responsibility to society. Engineers don't owe the world any more than anybody else does. (And if you think they do, then why do non-engineers not owe it to the world to become engineers?)
