How many politicians are there in office right now with an engineering background?
Why would an engineer want to give up such a successful career and become a corrupt politician?
This reminds me of my brothers episode when called for jury duty. It was a simple five-day case and he was amongst the 25 people called for the interview. The minute he declared that he was a computer engineer...he was off the jury. He has discussed this with a number of co-workers...same experience. The logic that these guys see...is that a engineer could put together all of the evidence in a fashion and convince the rest of the jury of the absolute facts in the case. Therefore, the prosecutor and the defense would prefer a guy like this not sit on the jury.
I would be curious across the entire US...how many times engineers are dismissed from juries.
