Hrm... Maybe the reason that tech is so good is that he is really qualified to be an engineer but because of job scarcity he is working as a tech. Of course, different countries have very different attitudes about work and about technology. Americans have really bad attitudes about both: "Work sucks, why should I care." and "Technology is for anti-social people, I don't want to understand, its beyond me."
One of the interesting things about Hong Kong was the fact that everyone seemed to care about their work. I mean you talk to cabbies and they say "Yeah, I just drive a cab, but I want to do it well, because its what I do, and I ought to be able to be proud of having done it well." People who wipe down tables at McDonalds seemed to be proud of what they do. They really cared. Its a totally different perspective.
