re: Operator vs. Engineer?

The way I think about it... I would prefer to be an engineer because maybe I’ll develop some sort of skills that will set me apart from someone else.
The reason you see operators overcompensating with #trucknutz and f-baw-50s? It’s because they have no skills.. they push a button and turn a valve.
If there was a strike in operations, I feel confident that I could go to the overpass on College, kick over a box, drag out a bum, and have the dude (or she) trained before ops even sets up the picket line.

This is the most rediculous thing I’ve ever seen. If that was the case we wouldn’t be paid over $100k a year. There’s plenty of guys that got hired in with 4 year degrees just to get ran off because they couldn’t qualify.
Mechanical Aptitude and troubleshooting skills are not as common as you think. There are operators out there that are idiots but the only reason they have a job is because of the good operators that carry the weight.
If said bum was surrounded by great operators he would be a nuisance to them but would be fine. In the event of a strike, all those great operators are gone and he wouldn’t last a week without getting himself or someone else hurt.
Some facilities won’t even allow new hires to touch a valve before they make a year with the company. And might not work solo until he makes 18 months.
