They are the ones that do the hands on work and figure out how things really work unlike us University dummies who know nothing except how to simulate things in Matlab.
However, having a University degree does help getting promotions and stuff. It has its perks. Still though, I really have a big problem with how Universities teach compared to tech schools.

What the blue blazes are you talking about? Yes, the guys in the field are better at being in the field. I'll wager they wouldn't have a clue how to design any of the stuff they install or service. That is a big difference. They are totally different jobs. As an engineer, I respect field guys and know that they can work magic with getting the 'black box' to keep running, but I know they couldn't design the 'black box'
