I got my duh gree from an engineering school but in my experience engineers/techies/scientists who actually do their job get along just fine with tradies and technicians who don’t know all the “theory” but keep the machines running with all their little cantrips and quick fixes, and it’s in no small part because both sides of that coin have to solve actual problems, in reality. I don’t want to get too into the details of my work for fear of doxing but I don’t have any problems with the grunt workers and I get along just fine with the other techies, but the business niggers are the ones who piss all of us off.

And it’s not because they get paid more or have more authority, either. Actually, they get paid less and have less authority. They’re just annoying people with no perspective. Grunt driving truck has perspective. Guy fiddling with code to make it arrive at the right conclusions or give the grunt driving truck the answers he needs to do his job has perspective. Guy who files paperwork does not have perspective. It’s a bullshit job that, at best, is created to satisfy government bureaucracy.
