part of a technological elite
My younger brother is a CEng in Civil Engineering and doesn't put his PhD on his card because people will think he's un unpractised boffin with no idea about the real world. He's as likely to be found out in the wind, rain and mud with a hard hat on his head as to be sat at a desk. He says he leaves the science to the university; its the chaps who do the digging who have the technology. I suppose that makes them the technological elite.
