I will be totally honest

Being an Engineer without the backup of a degree, was not simple
By the way, Honeywell promoted me to that title, why, because I solved some problems they were having trouble with, and promoted me again to a senior engineer(even worked on Space Shuttle components)

just like this message board, a problem(people for years, claim thy don't own any, yet keep posting nothing but negatives about this stock WHY). If they owned any take the loss and move on they and you DON'T leave again WHY

If my chance with MXSG falls short, I have more chances on other OTC penny stocks, only need one to make a nice profit.
Even you Git would have to admit, if MXSG makes it to the CANADIAN EXCHANGE, a profit might be made( but your activity here for years, I doubt that you will)

I don't suggest you take bread and butter the family might need(a hooked gambler), I am just taking a chance

Gee, then I shouldn't have referred to myself as a Software Engineer since my degree was actually in Physics. Perhaps I should have complained to GE Aerospace or RCA or NSA all those years. Engineering is a term used to describe an action or discipline. It can be practiced without a piece of paper (they stopped using sheepskin even before I graduated) issued by a college.

I remember working at RCA Missiles and Surface Radar with Dr. Patton - the "Father of phased array radar." When we had a problem he couldn't solve, we called in a Senior Engineer SME to come up with the solution. That man was the most highly respected member of the engineering staff even though he only had a high school education. College was boring. He could learn what he wanted to know faster on his own.

My experience was a little different. I took the only course offered at the time - Computer Programming - as an elective because it looked interesting. I loved it. IBM hired me and called me a Junior Programmer. Two years later four of us started a software as a service company. I decided that I preferred designing and developing solutions to problems better than managing others, so I switched primarily to the technical side. By that time, the title Software Engineer was in common use and I spent the next 37 years being called one.

On the other side of the coin, I also used to know a guy who had a PhD in Nuclear Physics who drove a taxi in Philadelphia. Should we have called him a physicist? Sorry, we called him a cab driver. He too eventually got bitten by the software bug and became a Software Engineer at RCA GCS in Camden, NJ. Did neither of us deserve that title?

Perhaps Will said it best, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
