Starting pay is a narrow parameter in my view. Here in Ontario, there is a severe oversupply of engineers with devastating impact on salaries and career prospects. Engineers tend to be a commodity and laid off with a vengeance after age 45 with few prospects for meaningful reemployment.

Obtaining a medical degree in such a climate is gold offering a very high income and amazing job security - something engineering degrees cannot match.
