design engineers. thats one of the main diff. a good scenario. my uncle say he has 13 master engineers under him. 1 chinese very good in theory, design nuclear plant so perfect but its not practical at all because that fking dude nvr thought of budget, market, safety, practical onot. unlike those german engineers can provide the best designs because they were grown up in such environment. butthurt.
about pay. in switzerland, a cashier or toilet lady earn rm12k per month, could hardly survive in zurich. a master freshman in engineering can earn.......rm18k per month, couldnt even afford a family in decent living.
the diff is only 6k, which is peanut. so dun complain.
I support your arguement. By the way, Engineers in today's world, most not wanting to dirty their hands. That's waht my US vendors told me, they are getting too much degree till they didn't know how to hand their design. I don't know about you, unless there are already standards in design application, oherwise, why don't a designer go down on the field to at least see his design being implemented, look at whatever possible problems that may arises?about pay. in switzerland, a cashier or toilet lady earn rm12k per month, could hardly survive in zurich. a master freshman in engineering can earn.......rm18k per month, couldnt even afford a family in decent living.

By the way, I am and engineer and a hands on person. Don't point design something, everything will works, but at what expenses? OR worse still, don't work and soemone correct your istake and make it work. At the end of the day, what do the engineer learn? This happen to one of the former company I worked with. Another case, Engineer in oil field, US consultants told me engineer don't wnat to go to the field to inspect their design as the design only need to put together some standardised detail parts together to form a complete unit as a whole. I can't recall what that was as it was already some 17 yrs ago.
Don't mean to demean engineers here, but there are as many, good at talking but not in application.
