Consideration!

Hello Mentors,

Can we consider this sentence as a good sentence?

How long you have been an Engineer?

Thank you in advance :)

It should be "How long have you been an engineer?"

Capitalisation of people's professions and job titles can be a slightly grey area, but in this case I see no reason to capitalise "engineer".

And you could, of course, ask:

I wish/want to know how long you have been an engineer. (No question mark.)

Alright, ;)

Thank you again Mentors.
