Your background happens to only be comprised of sucking many penises for 10 ringgit a go.

I don't mind critique, but for some 2 bit kid who hasn't even earned his degree to tell me this and that is just one of those things that makes me raise an eyebrow.

A professional engineer in Germany is of higher academic standard, in addition to a 4 year degree, they require another 2 years, equivalent to an MEng to become an "Engineer" by trade, thus to say that their concentrate on other fields isn't correct as well. They just have high standards for the title.

The problem also sometimes isn't of mentality, it's purely a catch 22 issue. How can you get experience if you don't get a job, and you can't get a job if you don't have experience.

Look dude. You don't even have the paper that says you're an engineer . Like i said, it's a problem of credibility.

Plus some of us are already making angmoh money, not just commenting while we're 18 and have barely finished our sekolah menengah. I have learned that many Malaysian engineers or students (just look in Audiophiles) are great bastions of skill and craft, we don't even need a company for practical experience in some fields, we build our own stuff, pay for our own equipment, for shit and giggles and because we love what we do.

I'm not sure about anywhere else, but here, Engineer is a title to be proud of, we guard our profession regardless of our levels, are given respect i feel should be extended to engineers everywhere.

I'm not in Malaysia practicing engineering, but for those who do and succeed, I salute you for you're a lot tougher than I am. Cheers from Down Under, don't let this faggot slag our profession.

Either way. Higher than yours lol. What have you achieved so far....hmm going overseas and living with mama and papa?

Oso i don't have bad taste in shitty headphone amps hahahhaha. Kids.

But on a more sombre and honest note, people living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Excuses weiiiii.....i've always believe in a certain hierarchy, which simply states that eg; It's not smart for me to say Malaysian doctors suck balls when I never even finished medical school. If I have something more than just anecdotal evidence, it might be more plausible. But otherwise, I'd keep my yapper shut.

Plus, you should try designing your own amp, building it on your own skills, own specs, own board and so forth. Oh wai. You can't. Again the policy, don't criticize others for what you can't even touch yourself. Don't generalize either, a lot of problems engineers face aren't of their own doing, sometimes labour markets dictate differently.

Our markets are very differently orientated, to blanket statement Malaysian engineers as less would be folly. In Australia an engineer cannot subsist on technical skill alone in the German style, you are expected to be a competent manager, risk analyzer, accountant, cost breakdown specialist and much more, most technical jobs require 2 years of fieldwork training and by law and by pressure of local trade unions, it is illegal for an engineer to do some forms of work. I can't pick up a wrench and fix a machine in the presence of trades people most of the time, they'll strike for goodness sake.

Thus, It is very climate based and the local market will dictate the engineers bred based on need. If what we have isn't what we need, the workforce will evolve according to it. We aren't stupid that's for sure.

Sure you can put so many regulations in that the only engineering grads we'd churn out are EngAus chartered quality people with 4 years of practical exp, but then we'd have a labour shortage wouldn't we? Context is badly needed.

Not really sound engineering. Electrical engineering dearie. Plus, try a Larocco instead, Pico amp looks abit naff from the layout.

Maybe he is answering all the other posts in the thread. Which i believe you might have read.

On unrelated news, I just voted in the EngAus state elections and the prevoted for a new Royal Charter to be signed by Lizzie II or Quentin Bryce.

In all honesty I read all the candidate statements and considered their contributions to the profession and the community as a whole, but ultimately, my vote was skewed by the relative "entertainment" or "awesome" value i attached to the candidate's name. Eg; Steven Blades. Seriously, any man badass enough to be named BLADES has to be given a high preference vote. Some sad indian guy got the lowest of my votes because his name sounded like assf***, i kid you not.
