Hello Fediverse - its time for a potentially controversial poll; if you'll indulge me. Its based on a statement I heard in my place of work a few weeks ago.

The question is this... Should the title "Engineer" be protected (I know it is in some countries) worldwide, and reserved strictly for those with an Engineering degree of some form?

The poll will be open for one full week, and please do feel free to chime in with comments :)

@dan0h no, there is no such thing as "natural aptitude" but the academic background is shit and where it's protected, half of the students cheat to get the certification / diploma and nobody bats an eye

@darckcrystale I'm a believer that some people are naturally more gifted than others in certain areas - art being a fine example for me, some people are just natural artists, some natural engineers - IMHO. Thanks for commenting!
