"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."

Actually they do make less. The average starting salary of a medical researcher is around 55K and that is for someone with a Ph.D. I am not talking about starting salary which is only around 40K.

It is a myth that Engineers face salary cap, they don't. They can advance and continue to make money. After 20 years the average Engineer with a B.S makes over 200K a year.
