I used to play bridge builder too! If this were Facebook that would make me an expert. Sadly.

I can say I have a degree in everything and an expert of all matter but too bad this isn't reddit

You joke but there are legit a bunch of YouTube "engineers" who got their degrees from Kerbal Space Program and Polybridge as far as I can tell.

Look, if you took some classes in 1995 and then never practiced in that area and now make YouTube videos for a living, you are not an engineer. You are a hobbyist.

I used to watch the Real Civil Engineer channel a lot and he said he was mostly working on fluid drainage, and that he worked on the project to build a (planned) tunnel for the road that goes near Stonehenge.

I haven't heard any other youtubers say that they are engineers.
