An engineer walks into my shop today...
My take:
ENGINEER:
SOMEONE WHO COMES UP WITH ELEGANT SOLUTIONS TO NON EXISTANT PROBLEMS, USING SOMEONE ELSES MONEY.

ALSO CAUSING MORE EXPENSIVE PROBLEMS THAN THE NONEXISTANT PROBLEM WOULD HAVE COST IF LEFT ALONE!
just sayin'

Of course later I realized that the same could be said of politicians!

During my 40+ yrs as a field service rep for heavy equipment and material handling companies, I quickly found out that it's easier to fix it yourself, and report later.
After being told by some genius at the home office that it HAS to fit/work as designed, led me to my rep as a "McGuyver guy".
Nothing pisses them off more than finding my fix worked and their design didn't!

To be successful, you must be 2% smarter than what you are working on.
To look good doing it, you need to be 5% smarter.
I try not to attempt anything that I'm not 10% smarter than.
If you are the smartest person in the room, find a bigger room.

As an auto body tech, I always say even their mom hates them when fixing a car put together dumb.
