This comes from an Adam Savage YouTube video where he addresses the question...
PNQ: Are the titles "scientist" and "engineer" dependent on having a degree, or can they be self-applied?
Personally I feel that occupation titles like this don't depend on having a specific degree, they depend on something more fundamental: are you being paid to do the work of a scientist, engineer, etc.?
