Better get rid of network engineers too ... it seems to be the alcoholic side of the profession -- and no, I'm not just basing that on personal experience ;)

You have no idea how much truth there is to that statement!

One too many trips to NANOG ... I'm all too aware of the truth to it ;)

You know, there is definitely something to the sexy computer geek concept....
Now that I think about it, there were ALOT of guys like that in the programming lab... d**n, remind me why I went into accounting again???

I LOVE the way they think...melt...
I agree with that second comment...WHAT were we thinking. Originally the fact that women outnumber men in this profession was great, but in retrospect, the odds are against us now.
Needless to say, I entered the profession because I love it, the program is great here, and hmmmmmmmm for the *cough* respect that was present *cough* three years ago.

Never met one of those, but I'll keep an eye out.

We're easy to spot ... look for the bags under the eyes and that swagger that says "yes, I can reroute the globe while hammered."
Funny story -- I knew a network engineer ... he'll remain unnamed, heh ... anyway, he'd just done a long allnighter at the 1 Wilshire carrier hotel in LA, and was standing outside the building having a cigarette a little after sunrise. Some businessman on his way to work mistook the highly-paid engineer for a bum and tried to give him a dollar for coffee. Tired of arguing with the suit, the engineer took his dollar, thanked him, finished his smoke, and went back inside to work.
Gotta love a profession that has you being mistaken for the homeless ...
