Well, I haven't worked for a large aerospace company like Spike does, I've mostly worked on my own or on contract to other firms, and I will say that when I worked at firms that were strictly architectural engineering, there was a distinct lack of such individuals. I was actually shocked. The last engineering firm I worked for, I was surprised to say, was an a-hole free zone, which allowed me to finally disprove what my father once said to me as a child, that I would find such people no matter where I worked....
