I personally get ****ed of with those who try and get sniffy about
definitions. Most of the talent and production types tend to talk about
sound engineers regardless of the job they do.

To me, an engineer designs or fixes things. I'm an operator. I operate all
sorts of sound equipment. And proud to be called just that. I fix the
broken bits of my kit at home - later. Wearing a different hat ;-)

Yes, that's why I would like an engineering degree, not a simple
technician course or to learn the job doing it with professionists.

Thanks!!!
