It's an ever-growing challenge. I think those people working for government contractors, particularly aerospace industry people, have decided that they have it worse because they have government rules as well as corporate rules, and they have the problem that if something goes wrong thousands of people die. It's the worst of all worlds. I get more mail from aerospace industry people than anyone else. I get very, very few negative comments, maybe one in a thousand.
Most engineers are just glad to be recognized.
The cartoon has that same impact. People are just so happy that I'm talking about engineers that it doesn't matter what I say. They're far more interested in being recognized than in being respected. I think dealing with marketing people is the hardest thing. And, in particular, they have to learn how to be less honest.
