It seems like social skills can beat technical skills.

There are desirable engineering jobs and there are the rest, depending on what you consider desirable.It seems like social skills can beat technical skills.
Intelligence, a disciplined mind, technical knowledge, attention to detail, an ability to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing, and a LOT of hard work.What makes a successful engineer?
"Can" is not the same as "will."It seems like social skills can beat technical skills.
Never, not even once in my 40+ years as a design engineer. Competent people get promoted, slackers get passed by. And sheer idiots just get fired.It seems like in some work environments, the people who work hard and go the extra mile get passed over. They get used, treated badly, and are not appreciated.
While those who sit around and don’t do much, get promoted.
Haven’t you experienced this type of reverse reality?
How do you define success?
- earn heaps of money?
- have fun at work?
- do something useful for society?
- be renowned?
