| VTBoy, Engineers aren't overpaid.
You stated, "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."
For one, I believe engineering has more fundamental applications. Engineering came before law, medical research, etc. It's not like people started practicing law before the wheel was invented. Therefore, technically I would argue Engineering is more of a foundation than law/medicine. However, don't get me as one of those "ENGINEERING OMG ITS THE ONLY THING AROUND!!!111oneone!!!1" people. I believe in balance, yada yada.
Two, Lawyers and medical researchers DO NOT GET PAID LESS THAN ENGINEERS. You might be comparing high level engineers to low level lawyers. I am basing that off my experiences with friends' parents. However, I could be wrong. I'd be interested in seeing some sources that support your claim. |
