Let's try it again from the top. You are NOT an engineer regardless of what your nametag says. Difficult to imagine Honeywell taking a high schooler and labeling him as an engineer. What did the REAL engineers have to say about that ? Well hell as long as you're making up stories, might as well embellish things by saying you were a problem solver.
Your contributions as an "engineer" are exemplary. Too bad they're fiction.
Back to disdain from "pity".
Oh yeah, as to "I will be totally honest", you don't have an honest bone in your uneducated body.
