Engineers have one of the most thankless jobs ever. Low pay, Low respect, and left holding the bag when the shit hits the fan.

The architect is the point at which the public and design meet. The engineer can certainly make the design into reality, however, the engineer is not in the position to make a connection with the public. The engineer is the stage hand for the play. They make it work but cannot be the star. Bigthink Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:54:12 +0100 http://www.bigthink.com/arts-culture/architecture-design/2009/#414
