The internal scream of every electrical engineer when someone equates their years of differential equations and circuit theory to installing light fixtures! That blank stare hides calculations of exactly how many volts it would take to make this conversation end faster. It's like telling a neurosurgeon "Cool, my uncle removes splinters too!" The difference between an electrical engineer and an electrician is roughly four years of calculus-induced trauma and thousands in student debt. Both are awesome professions—one just involves more crying over Maxwell's equations!
