The best engineers become engineers because they love it, not because it was the highest paying career choice. Those who choose professions based on pay and not what they love are the least likely to be at the forefront of their field.

If they love it, they will sacrifice and stick to it to achieve their goals and eventually become successful if not very successful.

people still need to make a living. engineering was always a good paying field - you aren't a rock star or an athlete, but you aren't poor either.
