I'm a senior engineer. I probably have a wee bit more accredited education than that girl, but no degree beyond what she has. What I do have is a *lot* of self-sought and self-taught knowledge. Applying that knowledge, and keeping my knowledge base fresh for my field, is how I earn the title and the salary that goes with it.

As you might imagine, I tend not to judge an engineer's value by their schooling.
