A Business Analyst might be necessary in developing financial services software but is useless for industrial control software.
Hey! We BAs can also do health care, testing services, and retail software, as well. Give us some credit.
Having worked in my college summers in manufacturing and a brother who is a EE/Comp.Eng and works on control panels for a variety of applications, I have no desire to ever step into a role that requires me to do that kind of work for industrial machines. Something about hearing my brother recount a project he was handed where he was asked to maintain and enhance thousands or millions of lines of undocumented spaghetti code in machine language gives me nightmares.
