material existence that comes from earning an engineeringdegree. Our analysis of the meritocracy of difficulty view is that this has been cultivated in thesame void that produced the engineering as lifestyle view. Our reasoning is as follows: a)because engineering students don’t yet have solid images of the actual qualities that distinguishspecific engineering craft skills from other fields that would warrant a high salary andprofessional security, b) they must construct—as all people do as story-tellers and sense-makersabout their own lives—reasons for this expected future bounty. The belief they construct is c)because they work harder now, they deserve more later.Before proceeding with our analysis we want to offer one clarification on the use
