Everybody is an engineer, by common consensus.

I'm a planning engineer, does that count??
Though I did win an engineering design award (its a medal!) for an off shore drill bit I worked on.

I was an electro/mechanical project engineer (qualified electronic engineer), but moved into sales (stayed with the same company) for the money.
Funnily enough I'm now a Field Sales "Engineer" so haven't managed to shake the title just yet.
An engineer should be formally qualified as such before using the title IMHO. Most European countries do not use the title lightly and hold there
engineers in much higher esteem than the UK

Me too. Time served toolmaker then specialised in Production engineering followed by Project Management. Now Project Manager in automotive
industry.
Absolutely love engineering but not convinced it is the best move from a financial point of view. A few make a fortune but most get the market rate.
Its a shame but most companies view engineering as a necessary evil and direct cost to the business. Whereas the good ole' sales people generate
business (dont comment - tongue in cheek comment alert)
