What about an engineer who doesn't know what he's doing? Engineer or Unskilled?

I think stripper would go in the Entertainment category which isn't enumerated, meaning it would go in the not listed catch-all. Man, if it weren't such a hassle, I would start all over again! lol Look at all of them I forgot!
And an engineer who doesn't know what he's doing would go under engineer--that's the norm for engineers, isn't it?

OK, you can put it under support staff because he would be there as moral support for all the other engineers who know what they're doing.WildBill wrote:Wiseguy/galHoi Polloi wrote:And an engineer who doesn't know what he's doing would go under engineer--that's the norm for engineers, isn't it?

Engineer by training, but went over to the dark side about 10 years ago and am now in management, so I checked management.

How many actuaries did you get. Probably just me.

Re: What line of work are you in?
See, there's one of my problems, I was an engineer by title, promoted there from technician, but didn't have an EE or anything like that, just the necessary skill set to perform the job. Plus I was a "Field Technical Support Transmission Engineer" which meant that very little of my engineering was done at my desk.Hoi Polloi wrote:I think stripper would go in the Entertainment category which isn't enumerated, meaning it would go in the not listed catch-all.

And all of the Education selection looks like administration, and I was a course developer and presenter: "Manager of Technical Training"
So I am still stuck.

Dancers should be in the same category as musicians, actors, writers and such.Hoi Polloi wrote:I think stripper would go in the Entertainment category which isn't enumerated, meaning it would go in the not listed catch-all.

If your job is to remove paint and varnish from wood, I think construction is on the list as unskilled labor. Cabinetmaker or furniture repair might be skilled labor depending on your handiwork.sawdust wrote:I said "stripper", not "dancer"![]()

I'm currently a sort of "Jack of all trades" as you might say. I also make snow during the winter months. I chose skilled labor.

I taught special ed for nine years.
I currently stay home with my daughter, but I also take care of my niece & nephew after school. I've recently started leading breastfeeding support group meetings a few times a month as well.
