Very odd. The list concludes with three skilled trades that share the name engineer, but don't have the same requirements for education and certification as (say) civil or electrical engineering. Now, I expect that the insurance companies see to it that all of those working as locomotive engineers have more rigorous training than many of us working as software engineers, and the same may be true for some operating engineers. Still, the list suggests a certain carelessness.
