I wish you could meet my father. He's retired now, but he was a Senior Research and Development Engineer for an aerospace company, where he was in charge of a prototype lab that designed and built new models of multi-processor guidance systems for supersonic anti-aircraft missiles. I'm sure that his employer would be quite surprised to learn that he couldn't be an engineer because he never received a Bachelor's degree.

Don't try to sound authoritative when you are just guessing, and don't force people into little boxes.
