Re: Skills vs education (was: Senior technical writer?)

Because you are arguing that another country's professionals 
are not "real professionals" because they don't meet the 
standards of yours.  In the US engineering *is* a profession,
and the vast majority of US engineers are considered 
"professionals" (last figure I heard, about 2,000,000) and 
employed as such without the need to be "Licensed 
Professionals."  

Things may be very different in Canada, but this list is 
predominantly US, and let's face it, to most people in the US 
Canada is just that big, cold place up north populated by
people who talk funny and whose main function is to serve
as skewering targets for the cartoon characters on South Park.

How does it change the point of my side comment that you 
aren't and can't be "pro" just by graduating B.Eng?
