See it is stupid to just look at someone’s function as Engineers, Technologist, or Technicians. When I encountered and worked with many people who graduated with an engineering degree who started as technicians and move their way up to engineers and construction managers. Not saying that you can’t do that with an engineering technology degree. A colleague I worked with had his degree in Civil Engineering (not civil engineering technology) and he was working as an environmental technician and moved his way up to construction manager. He just recently received his American PE and his boss who graduated with an Aerospace Engineering degree don’t even have his American PE. Even funnier is that his boss’s boss only have his associate degree in Construction Management and he is the lead Construction Manager.
