Modern job titles

And this is one of the things wrong with the UK

I believe Americans overuse the word Engineer too, they think of Casey Jones and I think of Brunel and there’s a gulf between them.

All due respect Sars, but when I worked as an aircraft design engineer in the USA being an engineer carried as much respect as being a lawyer, medical doctor etc

Unfortunately not so in the U.K.

Not sure I agree. I always felt respected as an engineer. Though for a long time I didn't consider myself to be one. as I don't have a degree. Perhaps it's an MoD thing. The whole ships weapons dockyard thing is fundamentally Engineering, so they treated us well.

Business Development is the best I think.

Another gem from the education sector which I heard today;

School site manager = caretaker

Think thats a bit incorrect..we have 4 caretakers in our school and a site manager who does a completely different job

not sure about the titles but i'm sure the caretakers in our school would like to swap the site managers salary with thiers

In ours it’s a facility manager and the exact same thought. I think he gets paid twice what our janitors get paid and Mon-Fri too. The janitors are on a shift rotation anywhere between 6:00 - 22;30 7 days a week

Indeed Mr G.
And it's that slimy, chinless, weasely little git Gove. If ever there was a politician who got into the job to get his retribution on the world for being bullied at (presumably private) school, it's him

Funny enough I knew a few people from that school. Just normal average people. Unlike Gove. Happy with being educated at the Comp myself. It's not always how you are educated. It's more often what you do with what you are given. :wink:
