You're right ... the engineers I know/work with make 2 or 3 times that ...

That's about a national average for a B.S. engineer with less than five years experience. The only differnece is the drywall guy doesn't work 40 hours a week and get paid for 52 weeks a year even though he goes on vacation for two of them. Many, many engineers make double that.

Don't know much about the payscale for engineers, do you? 30 bucks an hours is roughly $5000 per month, or $60,000 per year. A decent engineer with 10 years experience should make considerably more than that.

"drywall guys...25 to 35 bucks an hour..."

Are you sure many engineers don't make that? My son is pulling in $46+ an hour as electrical engineer, Drexel U. grad.

I don't know what most engineers make but do believe it takes some brain power and self-discipline to graduate, in his case with honors, as an electrical engineer.

Maybe you should recheck your sources.
