ET vs CRET

[Q695]

How exactly do CRET and ET compare, or do both have supervisory responsibilities for their departments if they have BS degrees?

CRET work for the SCO in the Radio Room. The two ET's work for the Chief Engineer. ETs make a bunch more $$$. On the AKE's a good ET is one of the most important crewmemebers aboard and the Cheif Engineers will do nearly anything to keep them assigned to the ship. Lots of extra goodies like ship's leave and big OT.
