    People lie about their credentials and accomplishments on the internet all the time. I would know, I have a master’s degree in internet lies.

      What I mean is, if you’re going to lie, then why an engineer? I have a degree in engineering and I’m a complete moron. Anybody can get an engineering degree, if they just like math and physics

        It sounds impressive to people who aren’t in the field. Like “scientist” or “doctor”. You might be really dumb but when you drop that title it tends to catch attention, warranted or not.
