Well, I assume Plant Engineers designed our modern high

again without rigorous maintenance, efficiency in anything
goes all to hell. Somebody has to lay out maintenance

    Plant Engineers DESIGN and supervise the construction of modern industrial equipment.

Tom, you know absolutely nothing about Plant Engineering, nor any other form of engineering.

Frank was not hired to do that - he was hired to maintain someone else's designs.

You _obviously_ know absolutely nothing about what I was hired to do.

I'm sure he took the teaching job because that of a plant maintainer must be pretty boring.

I took the teaching job because that was my ultimate objective since before I even completed my Bachelor's Degree. I got the idea when my study partners told me "You should be a teacher. You explain this stuff to us far better than the teachers do."
I actually chose Plant Engineering on the advice of the professor who was my research advisor and mentor. He recommended Plant Engineering because he said Plant Engineers tend to get experience in lots of different areas of engineering, which is good for a teacher.

Unfortunately, I'm sure that teaching was a hell of a lot boring as well.>not make it sound as if teaching makes him some sort of expert because that ain't the way it works in 99.9% of the cases.

It's not teaching, per se, that makes someone an expert. It's _learning_ that makes someone an expert. But competent teachers do spend a lot of time learning.
Which is not true of drunks posting on internet discussion groups, obviously.
