Justme,
To answer your questions, I dont think either Realtors or Engineers deserve to be Movers or Shakers unless as Realtors they are at the top of the profession or as engineers they invent something very valuable or own the business. Also making 100K as a realtor is harder. There are alot less Realtors making that kind of money than engineers around here.
FYI, for the latecomers to this board before Real Estate I worked in Corporate America as well as some succesful as well as unsuccessful start-up companies and my earnings were about double of what they are now. RE has allowed me to spend lots of time with my family and watch my young children grow. I’m not in it for the big bucks but rather the big personal payoff.
