Incidentally, as the loathsome hardware engineer that stirred up so much
comotion, I regret to inform you all that I did go to college for a
stint...studied theatre :)

...dropped out to work in electronics.

Well the honest to Gawd truth is that more and more companies are having to
"insource" work and have some people do more than one thing. At UPMG we have
taken an attitude that instead of outsourcing we find a way to use the folks
we have and ask them to wear more than one hat. It is not that different
than a double E doing layout. To tell the truth there are a lot of them that
have taken the time to learn and are quite capable at doing both.
It may sound strange from the guy that brought you Sparky Stublength, the
engineer who didn't know his active state signal from a void in the return
conductor (think about it), but last time I looked there was no rule that
said a board designer could not also be an engineer or vice versa.
