Engineers and Physicists on the Network?

With what appears to be a "critical mass" forming on the EG33 performance front, I was wondering just how many members of the network are card carrying engineers or physicists (yes, OT and YT, I'll also accept "by genetics" and "I would be if I had wanted to waste 4 years in college")?

1. SVXRide - BS in Mechanical Engineering with 1+ years of graduate work in Material Sciences and a MS in Technical Management

Does Software Engineering count?

BS in MIS, but now a software engineer by trade.

Yep, software engineers tend to have a good "systems" approach to technical problems. Sign up!

I have a question for all of you in the computer Tech world. I am after a Associates in Networking and a BS in Software Engineer. Possible a BS in Networking but what is the work like for any of you out there that do this. My love falls in 3 things, Brittany, my SVX and Computers. But Anyways would a degree in these yield a good occupation?
