So if supermarket engineers are kidding themselves about their prowess what should an engineer aspire to if they want to push or educate themselves a bit further?

A lot of good engineers want to remain hands on but career progression drives them towards some form of management, and in a lot of cases less money.

Surely industrial is not the pinnacle, as some people seem to think.

At the moment a good engineer would only be accepted as a thermofluid expert in certain environments.
