I'm at RHCE, which has "Engineer" in the title, I suppose Redhat have it wrong eh?

You realize that a lot of us "network" and "computer" folk have put in just
as much time and effort as a practicing engineer to learn our craft, right?
And your dismissive tone makes it pretty clear you've never worked on large
systems - things supporting 30 - 40 million customers (the things I build).
Sorry that doesn't make me cool enough to be part of your elite club. I'll
worry about getting certified when I'm not actually engineering things.

No, I'm not a licensed engineer. But I have corrected IETF and IEEE EE's
with phds and patents who have several published rfc's between when it
comes to system engineering. I have every right to my title.

Gads, but the word "engineer" is horribly overused.

Fun facts:  Calling yourself an engineer while not being a licensed
professional engineer is potentially illegal, as well as can get you in
deep kim che for misrepresentation.

I'm sure there are civil engineers that work primarily at waste water
treatment facilities who really get riled up over the term "sanitary
engineer" when it is applied to janitors.

As for myself, I am officially an EIT (although I've been practicing
engineering for 15 years), and One of my fields is "Systems Engineering."
On a relatively rcent job hunt, tons of companies wanted me to install and
maintain computers and networks.

Not to dis network & computer folks (I used to do that, too), but
seriously?  Thank you Microsoft for clouding up all the issues.

Perhaps my search engine foo is weak...

Anyone care to share what their "vision" is of what a "Linux Engineer"
does?   Is it really any different than a "Linux Architect"?  How
about a "Linux Analyst"?
