Oi, I was a Civil Engineer back in the day! And, yes, an Electrical Engineer mate of mine took great pleasure in ringing me one evening to get me to look up Boring in Yellow Pages.

I’d heard a similar one about clowns… ’There are two types of people in the world, those that hate clowns and… Clowns’ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt that years and years of exams? Good luck with the interview.

One of the drivers was that because the profession was quite small and did everything itself, exams could only be sat once a year. You didn't study continuously round the year for that one sitting. Usually October to April... ? CBRammette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
