Allow me to pass on my son's thoughts about his father being an engineer. <br />Background: I am a professional petroleum engineer with over 42 years of experience. <br />Question and answer with my son (age 3) <br />Q: Where does your dad work? <br />A: Union Oil <br /> <br />Q: What is his job? <br />A: He is an engineer. <br /> <br />Q: What does he do? <br />A: He drives a train. <br /> <br />Now that he is 41 I think he knows what I really do for a paycheck. Even though I was the Cahirman of the Board of a railroad holding company and have had many cab rides (one of the perks) I have never touched the throttle. Given the opportunity a couple of times byt declined for safety reasons. Did toot the whistle once, though. <br />
