Of topic: At least in Germany the work title “engineer” is protected. You need to have studied a technical degree in at least a 3 year program at a recognized university. Just a fun fact.
I believe that is true in the US too, except maybe for software development. Last time I went and looked at new job posts, they were all for software engineers, even positions that were clearly for entry level jobs where programming wasn’t even really the focus.
