| ""A surgeon may be able to save a life with an implant but an engineer designed the implant." i agree. i never thought of engineers getting overpaid...i think any careers in the health field are...some of them, they don't even need much work and they get like 80K a year (like pharmacist), doctors are different, they work their a$$ off saving peoples lives, so i think they deserve their "overpaid" salary. engineers, i think almost everything here involves with engineering and life without engineers, the world would collapse...now..do you think those people with business majors are overpaid?"
Life without lawyers, medical researches, ect would collaps as well. So your point is mute. These people get paid less than engineers yet they have to go through more school and education. What they do is even more important I say. If the average salary of an engineer was around 40K, which I think it should be then there would still be a lot of engineers. It won't cause a major change in the number of people in the field. I find it hillarious how you alll think an engineer with only a B.S degree deserves to make more than a medical researcher who saves lives. |
