Ask HN: Anyone Hiring Real Engineers?

There are tons of mechanical, electrical, and other non-software engineering positions open in the US and abroad. Are you good at what you do? Better than most? Able to not come off as a tool in interviews and writing (you failed this one here, btw)?

And yes, HN is probably the wrong place to look for a civil engineering job. You should probably, I dunno, check civic job boards? Asce.org?

Every engineering profession has at least one significant "society" or non-profit group. Join it, they have a job board.

* btw - i love that hardware hacking is getting popular again

I'm hoping that I can use both my education and software skills after graduation. Preferably in my own business.
