[quote=deadzone]So every career on FLUs dream list are Wall St. banking activities. Personally I don’t consider those legit careers, certainly not for living in Socal. But sure those guys can get rich if that is your only goal in life and don’t mind selling your soul. Realistically, do you even need a college degree to be an investment banker? Probably more important who you know and what is your ethnicity.[/quote]
I’m sure doctors do pretty well mid-career, better than engineers, don’t you? And how long can doctors practice for?
I’m sure a decent attorney can still practice when their in their 60ies.
I’m sure a decent real estate broker/agent can still work in their 60ies.
You think you can practice in your engineering job when you are 70? Have you seen many 60-65 year old engineers?
I know you’re going to say, well most of those doctors/real estate brokers/agents/attoronies don’t do well… Well guess what? Most of the engineers these days that aren’t really good, don’t do really well either. They usually are the ones that get outsourced overseas first. So if you want to make a comparison, compare best case scenario to best case scenario or worst case scenario to worst case scenario. Also, if you felt engineering is so great, why do you continue to complain about H1-Bs being a threat? just curious
