LOL! I agree, I work with a lot of Nukes being an operator in nuclear power. 1/3 are normal and good at what they do, 1/3 are arrogant book smart but have no common mechanical sense. And the last 1/3 are arrogant and everyone wonders how in the hell they made it as far as they have....just wierd with no social skills.
I guess being trapped in a long and hard cyl filled with seamen for months at a time and breathing recycled farts will do that to ya.

I don't think it just applies to technical jobs, applies to the entire population.
