One of the most interesting things I noticed when living is Singapore last year was that a lot of engineers, especially computer programmers, fall under the IT category.

There was no sense "software engineer" or "systems administrator" or "solutions engineer", etc. not in the way how it is in the US.

They all just looked at me and said, "Oh, so you work in IT?"

Then we talked about banking.

I silently added those who said that to a certain blacklist. Been through enough of 'Me - I'm in Software not IT. Them- But it is IT since you work with computer right?' ping pong matches. Ignoramuses, really.
