As an engineer, why not just work your day job & then proceed to purchase Bitcoins through an exchange?
It seems like your time doing that is a lot more valuable then "whoring" yourself out for money..
Edit: Unless your implying you'll conduct engineering related services for people?.. But I don't quite see how that's possible.
I think he just meant he'll work for bitcoins instead of what ever he's paid in now, which is cool. More business and people should accept bitcoins and then it can become a real flourishing economy.
