It is true that&#x27;s what 99% of us will see&#x2F;do. But that doesn&#x27;t change a basic fact about good engineer - being able to solve &quot;yet unknown&#x2F;unsolved class of problems&quot; and not just be able to solve &quot;JUST yet unsolved problems&quot;. Plumbing is generally about solving &quot;JUST yet unsolved problems&quot; whereas engineering is about the former. Yes, good engineers will also be (will have to be) good plumbers and that&#x27;s where the 10x thing comes into play in a big way.
