Engineer vs Teacher?

"No matter how high a bird can fly, it still has to look for food on the ground"

My cousin is a teacher, in fact I have a few aunties who are also teachers, primary school secondary school, semua ade. One day, all of a sudden  my cousin asked me this cepumas question when I was eating,
"Angah susah ke kerja jadi engineer?
To be honest, I don't know how to answer this, unless if she asked about my work specifically, then it should be easier to answer, but to generalize the engineer's job? I don't know. I was about to answer "STRESS", yes loud and bold, but then I realized semua kerja pon stress kan? So I quickly change my mind,
"Uhmm, depends la kot. ade yg senang ade yg sush, depends on field and company. Nape akak tanya tibe2?"

Then she told me about this one young engineer, who posts about Engineer vs Teachers in her blog, successfully increased her blog traffic, got a lot of comments and got so many hits in one day. tibe2 terus jadi famous blog die. Why? Sebab die telah mengkritik cikgu sewenang-wenangnya.I'm not gonna put her link here but if you search Cikgu Vs Engineer InsyaAllah akan jumpe even she already deleted all her entries. Because Google did a good job by caching her old entries, so a few bloggers managed to post her hot entry on their blog. 

Freedom of speech. So she has the right to write anything.. blog dia suka hati die la kan? But as an engineer, I feel so embarrassing reading her entry. I don't know what is the right term to use, mungkin 'lupa daratan' atau 'kacang lupakan kulit' atau 'si tanggang'? you told me. 

But one thing we need to remember... Tiap kali berdoa..
" Ya Allah, ampunkan dosa2ku, dosa kedua ibu bapaku, dosa GURU-GURUku, ahli keluargaku.............." 
Tak penah dengar lagi orang berdoa
"Ya Allah, ampunkan dosaku, dosa kedua ibu bapaku, dosa ENGINEER-ENGINEER......".. or maybe not yet. 

That shows how much our teachers mean to us...Mulianya kerja seorang guru, to be honest, I feel jealous, because I didn't get as much prayers as Teachers do. maybe we should include engineer in our doa then? T_T
