[quote=deadzone]Sure Engineering may not be as lucrative as it once was, thanks to the overall threat of outsourcing/H1B. But, still beats the pants off of most professions for pay potential on average doesn’t it?[/quote]
Starting out, maybe. Over the life of the profession, most definitely not, unless again you hit it with the stock options/RSU grants.
I don’t see many single income earnings engineers without stock options able to afford to live in carmel valley, unless they are a dual income family.
I do see plenty of dentists, doctors, lawyers, self-employed business folks, or enigineers with side businesses or that dabbled into other non-engineering-job related things that supplemented their income though…
