Texas law was recently amended to exempt anyone whose official job title 
includes the word "engineer", regardless of their degrees, certifications, 
bonding, or registration with the state.

Even though I benefit from this change, I disagree with it in principle 
because there are too many people out there running around calling 
themselves "engineers" who don't have a clue.  If/when there are a 
non-trivial number of schools offerring degrees in network engineering, 
systems engineering, software engineering, etc. I (and many others) will be 
lobbying to have the exemption repealed.
