[ Industry / Profession ]

I’m totally paraphrasing and adding to Seth Godin’s 56-word 27-June-2022 blog: “What makes it a profession?”  His insightful answer to the question is along the lines of:  “Within an *industry*, it’s buyer beware, anything goes. But in a *profession*, there’s a service on offer, and standards and trust matter.  Malpractice by one professional is malpractice by all professionals.”

Professionalism in the engineering industry(!) is so important to me.  I’m deeply focussed on supporting new and not-so-new engineers to have the tools, confidence, knowledge, and encouragement to behave professionally.  Standards and trust matter to engineers.  And to those we work for.
