It depends on where you work too. I know engineers in major urban areas can easily make a nice amount, whereas an engineer in kansas will be making very little. I know engineers that are very wealthy and engineers that aren't so wealthy.. but they still manage to survive. If you're in the career path strictly for money... I advise against it.

I don't agree with your post, T990. Not every engineering facet is being outsourced or made extinct. Also, some newer fields of engineering are still evolving (the biomedical engineering boom/hype). Jobs are available and I can't imagine an engineer with 20 years of experience having a hard time keeping/finding a job. You don't have much supporting evidence for your claims and I still believe that engineering is a solid degree.
