Be careful what you wish for.
I once worked and a Design Engineer for Intel. We thought it made a lot of sense to dress casual, and over the years we got more and more casual. After a while, the public perception of an engineer was "some kid to took time off of surfing, to play with computers". As such, the integrity of the job and the wages started to suffer. Engineers became a very replacable commodity.
Dress for Success!!!
[/ QUOTE ]gotta ditto that... as an engineer, i dress fairly casual for work - jeans and a nice shirt... but only when i'm staying in the office all day...whenever i go out of the office, i make sure i look impeccible for meeting clients or what not...because the dress does "sell" you as a professional who cares about little details...
