    The c suite isn’t in the example, but I wonder how many executives are engineers or scientists. But if an engineer is doctor enters the c suite, do they stop being engineers or doctors

      Yes? If you stop doing engineering work, then you’re not a practicing engineer.

      (Unfortunately) you don’t get paid for the work you put in, or else there’d be UBI. You only get paid for what you do, and sometimes not even that.

      They are 100% in the example, but rather implicitly than explicitly.

      And the engineer or scientists C-suite are probably a small minority. Most are business majors.

      In terms of their skillset? Probably not immediately (skills may deteriorate due to lack of use over time). In terms of what they will be doing as part of the job, and how they use their skillset? To a certain degree, I would say yes.
