Very true. I'm an engineer, but worked as a pc salesman in the past. Since I speak many languages, the management would send me to deal with foreigners. Knowing that few could understand what I was saying, I'd point at our gear, while actually telling customers what not to buy and where to find the same things for less.
LOL. Ah, but you are an oscilloscope salesperson, Dave. I bought a Rigol DS1052E based on your reviews and for bringing the 100 MHz hack to everyone's attention. (I haven't tried the hack yet, BTW.)
I'm an electronic engineering student and I actually happen to be a salesman for an electronics company (also selling scopes Although my salary does not quite compare to 150k AUD!)
My honesty does get me in trouble from time to time with management! but it does provide a good sales service and customer trust. (therefore customers return to our company first in future, ahead of any competitors, to buy a product that WILL be suitable)
Ditto on engineers being honest. This is a problem/blessing I have when I dealt with customers in my previous job. It's also I problem I had with management too.
I agree with everything that you said in here, Dave. If someone were to ask me my honest opinion about a particular product, my honest feelings about it would come out and it really could go either way: "This thing is a piece of crap, " or "This machine is great because of A, B, C, and D..."
No wonder O'scopes are so damned expensive!!!

"Engineers are so damn honest" You are SO damn right! I am such a bad salesperson... I just can't sell my projects!
I think that's the reason why many inventors and engineers don't get as famous (and rich) as plain sales people like Bill Gates.

Australia probably has more interesting jobs than US. That's where Google Earth was written. But you can't get $5,000,000 0 down loans.
