I agree, pretentious job titles make me chuckle, especially the latest fad of technicians
Vehicle Technician - car mechanic
Sanitary Technician - bog cleaner
Domestic Technician - house cleaner
Blah blah blah...
Apparently it seems like no matter what job you do theses days you are a "technician". -
Technician definition: 1. a worker trained with special skills, especially in science or engineering: 2. a person whose technique is very good
Somebody had the bright idea to take one definition ^^ and milk it. Now everybody has jumped on to the band wagon.
Though reading more, it seems that in simple terms, the "technicians" are the doers and the "engineers" are the problem solvers.
I'm changing my job title to "Technical Operations Engineer"
