I mean why, since you also have a plethora of HW roles, Analog, RF, Microwave, Power, Embedded Systems, etc.. It's like some people who say work in tech means just Software.

  • Because people are ill informed. Most people don’t know anything outside their immediate working domain, so let’s not fault them too much if they try to generalize. The human brain can only handle so much.

    OP still is narrowly focused on just EE/CE HW engineering topics. Think about all the engineering that goes into the physical product, that you can actually touch.

    How many of you are actually building physical things? Or are you still just sitting in front of a computer all day, like the SW folks?

      Me, I'm building stuff! Best part of my week is assembling stuff I've designed or troubleshooting with a soldering iron in hand
