re: #237 dat_said

The best, and I mean by far the best, engineers at the place were the non-degreed ones who had worked themselves up from technician. They were the first let go when the new Havard MBA guy took over as division president. He couldn’t fathom paying engineer salaries to somebody without a college degree.

I cannot help thinking about the Sharpe series with all the aristocratic twit officers snubbing him because he was raised up from the ranks.
