You know how job titles are so skewed nowadays (janitor is a “sanitary engineer”) and so on...just curious if you wife is actually a degreed engineer?
She has 2 bachelors and a masters in engineering, she is an engineer by day in her 9-5 there. She's currently involved with designing the requirements for a lot of the EV charging stations as the electric car craze takes over. When storms hit they get put into storm duty and she dispatches crews then for some hefty OT pay. Now ya know why our bills are so high!

We sometimes joke about whos not a real engineer in our house, her being an electrical or me being a biomedical engineer! I think the 6 diplomas on our walls are enough to satisfy the argument where we both win.
