There is "technician syndrome", which is when support people, like
techs and PCB layout and such, hate engineers because they think that
we somehow do magic that they can't understand. Always males, in my
experience.

In Silicon Valley, there is a whole tech culture, guys who dress like
cowboys and drive pickups and go to lunch at strip clubs and such.
They think engineers are effeminate wusses; they also resent that the
engineers seem to get the best women.

Some people with EE degrees have this same feeling.

One of the the hardest things to do in life is to get comfortable with
what your are.
