    My geophysicist friend laughed at me for a little long when I said “I’m a computer scientist”.

    I never took that degree/job position or whatever seriously anyway. I’ve always giggled at software engineering too. I just call myself a programmer.

      One is your education and one is your job. It’d be like me chirping someone with a geophysics degree who’s working at Starbucks.

        lol, okay that made me chuckle … I liked that.

        Although, we both eventually got into the jobs for what we studied for. We’ve made that jokes both in university and when we got into respective fields.
