| Just being a good engineer can get you the type of money you want, which is really pretty modest compared to what a lot of people want. My dad makes about 100k a year. He's a got a 40k car for himself and my mom, a 30k car for me and another son coming up. We had a nice 2 story house in Orlando, FL before recently moving. I think your severly underestimating how much 55k starting salary can get you if start out living alone. If you want 150k after 5 years, steer far away from engineering. There's not much that can get you that without an advanced degree. I've seen you on other boards and it seems like you just want an easy out to get big money. Well it doesn't work that way. Money comes with hard work. Do something you like and are good at and the money will come. |
