Barry and I were talking about doing an article on this subject, and I am 
eager to do it.  I've worked as a consultant for many years, as you know, 
and have worked with several of the engineers on this list.  I consider them 
my friends and admire what they do to make stations sounds better.  But over 
the past several decades, I've seen a lot of changes in what is expected of 
engineers, and have heard a number of engineers complain about how they are 
treated.  On the other hand, some still think it's a great way to  make a 
living.

Soooo, I'd be interested to get the opinions of list members on the subject 
of being a radio engineer today-- for example, do you feel your station's 
management treats you with respect?  Do you feel your role has changed over 
the past few years, and if so, has it changed for the better or not?  I 
realise some of you may not wanna talk about your boss (I can disguise names 
for the article, if necessary!) and I am not trying to create a giant gripe 
session-- but I am seriously interested in what your perception is of the 
broadcast engineering profession today:  would you want your son or daughter 
to become a radio engineer?  Feel free to contact me off-list if you'd 
rather not have your comments posted!
