Job titles ?

[basildog]

So what do you call yourself and why how do you justify it ?
Not that I care what you want to be called but would love to hear as seems to be these days everyone wants some kind of grandiose title but really why ?

Heating Engineer if someone asks the question.
I am not gas qualified, but hate it when I get the remark - " he's a heating engineer " when someone refers to a gas guy who often is useless. What they are saying is that I am just a plumber.
Really though, I hate the way most jobs in this country are described in snobby imaginative terms, designed to impress. Everybody seems to be a manager or an assistant manager.

Plumber, heating engineer, gas/ service engineer, that guy who does wata and gas stuff.......... All the same value in my book so call me what you like


Bathroom fitter, kitchen fitter ..... These titles should be banned.

I think of myself as a Plumber, and thats what I tell people. But i guess im also a Director and Sole Shareholder as i own and run a Ltd company. I like Plumber though

Don't like being called plumber. I put in a lot of hard work, money, time and effort into my technical knowledge and understanding of heating systems.

Plumber feels to me a starting point in a long career, and different titles to me are a way of identifying people who have gained extensive knowledge in certain areas in order to add something to the industry/employer.

As unjust as it may sound that's my view on it

[woodytheplumber]

plumber and gas fitter I rarely do gas repairs more through choice as I am slow as I don't have a vast experience in it so don't like to call myself a gas engineer
