After almost five years, I’m getting my iron ring tomorrow. I’d like to inform the uninformed. As well as being a symbol of authenticity, responsibility, intelligence and creativity it’s a reminder of the oath an engineer takes upon joining the brotherhood between all working Canadian Engineers. I wish the world understood it better. There are incorrect stereotypes I hear. All anyone who is not an engineer should take away is, that anybody with a small plain, chamfered ring on their working hand’s pinky finger, is likely well educated in the sciences and wields slightly higher moral values with respect to most things that happen in the world.

“…joining the brotherhood between all working Canadian Engineers” - Jeffrey McLarty
The word ‘brotherhood’ is another one of those “…incorrect stereotypes I hear”…

Ok, I’m sorry, I’m a pig. I really do apologize. I should have used a genderless word. But then again, it’s easy to critique behind an anonymous mask.
