And people wonder why you can't get people to major in engineering, bust a** to get a degree, work 60-80 hours a week, live in one of the most expensive places in the country, and have their pay capped by 100k plus a year foreign workers willing to do anything just to live in the US. I did it for 24 years.

I have a friend who's a pilot for a major airline. It's not good times for pilots right now but when I tell him my stories of being an engineer he looks at me like I must have been crazy.

There's nothing like spoiled rich white collar workers crying that they're only paid in the low six figures.
