I'm technically an engineer, but I seriously doubt my skills can solve any useful problem.

I have been working with wastewater treatment for the last year. I doubt there will be any questions in this area. Also, nearly all engineers seem to do these days is make such everything complies with some stupid code.

The best engineers are employed to make things merely look like they're code compliant.

I've been in the broadcaster technician and engineer's union, so if any world problems require consulting the manual, or using a tape deck...

Here's the problem with this approach (told to me by the General Manager at a company I once worked at):

As engineers progress in their careers, they learn more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing. Salesmen learn less and less about more and more until they know nothing about everything. General Managers start out knowing everything about everything, but, due to their exposure to engineers and salesmen, end up knowing nothing about anything.
