To see 15 year old kids going around the forums calling themselves engineers (Im not trying to pick on you or single you out) is pretty ridiculous in my opinion, and really does degrade all the work that they did to get where they are.

I agree, but there are a small (very small) few of us who are in a High School Specialty Center for Engineering. I go to the CFE(HS)^2 [Center for Engineering @ Highland Springs High School] in Henrico Co. near Richmond, Va, and I believe that we should at least be able to call ourselves "engineers in training" at the least.
