I worked with engineers for my entire 30+ years in the Aerospace industry and my son is a darn good one too...yep, there are some Sheldons...if you've never seen "Dilbert -the Knack" video on youtube it's worth a watch, it is uncanny.

But his company website lists him as "General Superintendent" and that he studied civil engineering in college. That doesn't sound like a full-blown, licensed engineer to me? But the company website probably has it wrong. Like all of us...

Engineer or not, it's obvious 1320 Racer has never worked in the automotive industry or repair field (like many members of this site) and his opinion comes from someone that buys his engines, trans., rears, etc. from a professional.

Ed,

No worries here.
The ones that were quick enough to get it, did not worry about it!
Those of us who have been doing it very long have heard all the jokes, and seen enough of the jokes too!

I have nothing but respect for those that chose to better themselves thru education. Gaining and using knowledge has helped mankind get where we are today. However posession of higher knowledge does not automatically make them an expert on all subjects. Knowledge and wisdom should be used in equal measures. To be honest I wish I had furthered my own education, as it would have certainly helped me even in my menial job.
