I will go first. Hello young engineers get your head out of the photon cloud or any thermodynamics thoughts you learned in college. You in the real world now how about focusing on people skills and networking. This means you can't solve everything so talk to hourly employees and other management and learn things. Network out and you may find something else you can move into later on and this means get to know other people in other industries that enter your plant or faculties. Trust me I have seen people that do these two things I just mentioned and prosper. If you don't you can be like these recent influx of new engineers that suck. Yes suck. No people skills and toughen up if times get a little though the grass isn't always greenier and those people skills may help you out. RANT OVER. Please chime in old folk engineers and new engineers.

First, I totally agree with your post. The essence of the post is solid.
However, your post confirms one thing I've long suspected: Engineers clearly aren't taught grammar or communication skills.

Sure we are, it's just not important because grammar doesn't keep buildings from falling down.

Make sure to remind the hourly guys that unions serve no real purpose and that's why your college degree makes you better than them. They will be impressed by your superior education and work double time on your future projects.

You're not an engineer

He sounds like an operator

I'm a new engineer but I was brought up in a family full of them.
I know exactly what you're talking about though. I've dealt with some that think theory is all that matters.
They don't last very long.

FLboo isnt an engineer, he's an operator.
He sounds jelly cause the engineers work less than he does and make more money.

Wow OP. Who pissed in your Cheerios?
On the subject, best advice I can give is learn to be practical. Put your hands on stuff, work with tools, learn to weld, do field visits and walks. Drawings aren't always right, and it's incredible when you understand HOW something is built vs just whether it passes an analysis.
