True.
How many here would actually consider the 'Eur Ing' prefix on their
business cards,
Is there such a thing?

Well that depends on what institution you belong to (no jokes in the
back
please), but education, experience & training to the required level are
prerequisites. It will be of use if you need quick recognition of your
abilities in France & Germany particularly: "ah Herr Engineer Mystery,
my
colleagues and I are looking forward to your presentation" at german
conferences etc. Has a regard equivalent to doctor over there.

Do you mean doctor, as in medical doctor, rather than in science doctor?

You should know this. It doesn't really matter. The kind of
reverence that Frau Farbissina has for Dr Evil.

It is?
