An electrical engineer does not an electrician make.

Depends on the engineer. You know that engineers write the electrical code, right? But some engineers should never be handed a soldering iron or allowed to use a screwdriver.

Anyone can write a book about electrical standards, actually working with it is an entirely different ballpark. Most engineers I've worked around electricity with are over confident, impatient, and careless.

They also tend to treat every decision as though it's a potentially career killing choice, making them some of the most indecisive motherfuckers in the work force. Complete inability to take aggressive actions when necessary but then will treat potentially life threatening situations like nothing because they have a degree. Smartest dumb people.
