I'm not going to respond to your link, because it requires information that I'm not willing to divulge.
To answer here, I will say that I am not an engineer. I never finished high-school, but I love to design machines. I consider myself to be a mechanical engineer by nature, but not by education. Even worse, my design specialty is weapons.

And, unfortunately, it appears that you cannot, in fact, get more chicks with a gun and a love of engineering than you can with a gun alone. :rolleyes: o:)
 
I have completed the graduation as IT Engineer, but I am not in the correct path of doing my service in the Engineering field.
