As a Telecommunications Engineer, I receive a lot of free trade publications. But, then I started receiving trade publications for Mechanical Engineers. And that was fine. That soon expanded into Chemical Engineering and then into Biological Engineer. Recently, I started receiving publications on Forensics. Well OK.
After a few years, my job title changed to Systems Architect. So, I now receive trade publications on structural steel, metal fabrication, concrete design, HVAC, flooring material, etc. And while these publications are interesting, I simply don’t have time to read all of them.
