Hey /sci/,
I'm watching my engineering school classmates high-five each other over how they're totally "scientists" too.
What's a good counterargument to that?
I hate to see yet another group of engineers start down the slippery slope of thinking their expertise is general rather than specific.

Generally speaking I'm gonna put my dick in your ASS FAGGOT
In the real world they work together and respect each other's talents. And the engineer fucks the scientist's wife after taking her out to dinner in his Mercedes S65 AMG
Also consider this:
PhD engineer
>conducts research
>hired with job title "Research Scientist"
>knows fuckload of specific physics in his field
>performs work using math and scientific method
>BS in chemistry
>literally uses lookup tables
B-but the first guy has engineer in his name he-he's not a SCIENTIST LIKE ME
kys autists
P.S. even if the PhD engineer doesn't get called a scientist he has more than enough money to make himself feel better that a bunch of broke cucks think he isn't (((cool)))

Fuck you. I'm a mechanical engineer, but I publish in chemistry journals.
The world's getting too interdisciplinary for this shit.

Oh yeah forgot to mention engineers publish in science journals and physicists still have to engineer shit like laser systems and design electronics and generally do the exact same shit for less money and expendable employment

Bachelors in Science, Civil Engineering. I is scientist, cry harder, your tears are delicious.

Anthropology is also a science.

So's biology apparently lmao
spoiler: chemistry is the biology of physics and physics is the stamp collecting of math
>>8897408
you can be a scientist and an engineer, but if you're just an engineer then you're just an engineer

A BSCE is no scientist. You apply cookie-cutter solutions to problems and are 20 years away from being automated onto the unemployment line.
Source: I'm one too.
>>8897692
To be frank: no one with a bachelors is a scientist
>>8897692
nah man, a PE with a license is required to do anything, build anything. Get that license and you're set because the law has made your job impossible to get rid of.
>>8897962
I for one would be ok being unemployed if the world has gotten to the point where we have robots doing every job all the way to construction
>>8897369
We use science to further our exploration into improving the physical existence of humankind. We are interdisciplinary; without us, scientists would have no tools to study. Without scientists, we would not know how to forge those tools and to properly make use of them.

since I'm not the one who is going to own those robots I have no assurances that I won't be left to starve. I'll take the license and fight to keep my legal bullshit justification for getting paid.
