A post is being shared on social media that highlights certain claims regarding the respect and privileges enjoyed by engineers in different countries. In this article, we will verify the authenticity of these claims.
Claim: Instances of respect and privileges granted to Engineers in various countries.
Fact: In US and Europe, engineers are not the highest paying jobs in mean wise or median wise. In French courts, individuals need to have certain legal qualifications to become lawyer. Also, Japanese penal code does not include any provisions that grant special privileges to engineers during the time of arrest. Hence the claims made in the post are FALSE.
Do engineers get the highest salary in American and European countries?
While it is valid that certain individuals working as engineers in specialized fields such as aerospace may receive exceptionally high salaries, it is important to note that engineers, as a whole, do not hold the position of the highest-paid profession in the United States and Europe. Referring to the latest data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics, it becomes evident that doctors specializing in various fields, including Cardiology, Ophthalmology, Paediatrics, and others, earn the highest mean and median salaries across the United States.
Additionally, it is worth noting that professionals such as the President, Vice President, and other high-ranking positions also rank among the highest paid jobs in the United States. Similarly, when considering data from other European countries like the United Kingdom and Germany, it becomes apparent that engineers do not hold the title of the highest-paid profession.
Only Engineers can become Judges in French Courts?
In France, judges are selected from individuals who have pursued legal studies and obtained relevant qualifications in law. To become a judge in France, one must typically complete a law degree, followed by further legal training and passing competitive examinations specific to the judiciary. Once a candidate has been selected to become a judge, they will undergo a period of further legal training at the École Nationale de la Magistrature (ENM).
Police in Japan can arrest an engineer only after getting permission from Government?
Japanese penal code does not include any provisions that grant special privileges to engineers during the time of the arrest. Therefore, engineers are generally treated similar to individuals from other professions within the criminal justice system.
Only scientists and engineers are considered VIPs in USA?
Although there is no official designation or published list of Very Important Persons (VIPs) in the United States, it is widely recognized that individuals who have held or currently hold prominent positions such as Presidents, former Presidents, Vice Presidents, and other high-ranking officials are given official protection and benefits and certain privileges.
To sum it up, the claims asserting that engineers are regarded as special individuals with specific privileges in various countries are not substantiated.
