I am an engineer and hate engineers as well. Typically hung out with the plant baws in my unit when I was working in O&G. I can say that the most insufferable engineers with a complex are the ones with little common sense. Otherwise they would see they are annoying as hell to most people

It’s interesting for me how this differs. I have a bunch of personal engineering friends who can be a bit abrasive at times, but are mostly down to earth and cool. Usually engaging to speak with for many reasons.
But from a work perspective I work with others and hear exactly what you’re saying. They consistently overstep their knowledge of engineering into the sectors of business, finance, marketing, etc. that they really know nothing about. But think they do and are usually wrong, which winds up in wasting resources. Like my time

Pastors/Preachers get my vote.
Im surprised the engineer crowd in here has not said architect or pastor/church.

So you have a degree in Imaginary Engineering.

Former engineer turned general contractor/business owner. The answer is architect all day long.

I deal with the same thing. I run a machine shop and constantly have to deal with design engineers trying to tell me how to make something they designed, or completely lacking real world understanding of why the design is terrible from the manufacturing viewpoint. Just because you designed it doesn't mean you know how to build all the parts efficiently.

Real architects are pretty annoying, but if you run into someone with a title like "software architect" prepare for a serving of USDA Grade A bullshite.
If you actually do what these people say, your project will take 10x as long as it should, and you ultimately won't even get any credit for it. I say this because, by the time you finish, the "architect" will have moved onto some entirely new set of annoying technologies and precepts.
And that's really what makes "maintainability" and "doing things right" such shibboleths in the software industry. Everything is very transitory and what you write will likely be either thrown away in a few years or despised by its users as a "legacy system."
Better to just hack everything together as quickly and cheaply as possible.

Academic advising: some of the students are whiney if not outright rude, non-stop documentation, non-stop emails, and tons of problems that you never expected when the day began.
Not to mention knowing every day that any mistake you make could lead to a student blaming you for why their degree isn't going according to plan.

Mlm “huns” and bonus points if they get their husband’s looped into the pyramid.
Engineers- they know their job and how to do everyone else’s
Attorneys- they know their job and how to do everyone else’s
Corporate ladder climbers- fake AF

Safety specialists
After a 35 year career so far in the plant I've learned that most safety "specialists" aren't really a specialist in anything. Most are someone's son or nephew or friend they hired because it doesn't require any real skills. The Lion's share of them are contractors watching over the nested contractor maintenance crews in the plant. The only ones I've ever found to be consistently decent are the company employed safety persons because they don't have to kiss anyone's arse and don't get butthurt because people fricking with them about how they got the job to begin with.

As an engineer, I vote architects. Creatively making shite too complicated.
Also as an engineer, I'm always right.
