I got this article while reading Greg Mc Millan's book. He is into field of automation and control for quite a long time now and has many honours to his name. I quote the following from his book...
"INSTRUMENTATION RULES OF THUMB
Being experienced in instrument engineering means you have made and corrected a lot of mistakes.
You must check out and start up your own designs; otherwise you will make the same mistakes again.
You must treat the user like a customer if you and your organization are to survive.
Confrontations with management indicate suicidal tendencies.
If you want a sense of accomplishment, stay technical. If you want to make money, become a manager, sales rep, or outside consultant.
Attend as few meetings as possible. If you like to attend meetings, you will never be a good instrument engineer and probably will end up in management.
If you work for a corporate engineering department, join every airline's frequent flyer club.
Buy and use luggage that doesn't have to be checked. Checked luggage gets lost or destroyed. Having dirty socks and underwear fall out of your briefcase at a meeting is tacky.
Create the perception that you do wonderful things that produce amazing results
-By Gregory Mc Milan"
i will recommend all those who are interested on automation to see his e-book which is available online......http://www.easydeltav.com/controlinsights/FunnyThing
