Bit of a cheesey reply then. I hated those forms when you started
a job. There was an extremely high temptation to misinterpret

Qualifications always made me laugh as I have no formal ones at
all, and they often simply could not understand why I could do
the job better than their chinless graduate with a million
'ologies' to their name. I tended to put common sense A in the

My dad was disappointed that he could not join the IEEE because of
lack of qualifications - he was on a number of (and chairing some)
BSI committees at the time!


why would he want to join an American institution?


I was a member of the IEEE once, they have pretty mags and it was
free.

I did look at joining the IEE but I felt insulted that they wanted me
to answer two questions on their exam papers when they usually wanted
more.

So they were saying I knew more than their usual applicants but not
enough.

There wasn't any real advantage of joining anyway.

it's the IET now it change in 2006.

Yes, you now only have to be interested in Electricity to join,

Eh? Do you know what IET stands for?




There's "associate" that doesn't need any qualifications - albeit
doesn't give any letters to go with the BH Calcutta (failed)
