13. It's an Engineer's mindset...

By necessity we're problem solvers and logicians.

Doctors, Lawyers... for example, tend to be specialists in specific areas and frankly idiots in others.

In my former career we had Engineers working with M.D.'s and Ph.D's... (BioTech) so I got to watch and spend time with many.

An Engineer would change his oil in his Land Rover over the weekend, the Doctor would take it to the shop... in fact the Doctor or Lawyer might not even KNOW there's oil inside an engine lol...

I've been in meetings with Ph.D's who can't read an Engineering schematic or can't comprehend how something is assembled or disassembled.
