I’m an electrical engineer with a master’s degree and more than 30 years experience. I program in C++, C# and assembly language. I can write drivers. I’m an expert in image analysis, and have two software patents in that field, with four more applied for.
I make less than $90K/year, and I feel very lucky to have a job at all.
I would tell you, but its dangerous these days to blow the whistle.
It’s frustrating to see our tax dollars paying the inflated salaries of bloggers, schedulers, and special assistants. I live in Ohio but work for a NY firm with no Ohio office. Even though almost all of my time is spent telcommuting from Ohio, NY is taking a substantial part of my salary to pay for these nonessential political handout jobs.
Engineers don’t make what many people think they do.
We’re in the same boat.
Amen and may God keep you employed.
1.Sleep on the job.
2.Surf porn while at work.
3.Pick nose.
4.Show up at union protests when any benefits or salaries are cut.
You just don't qualify for a $120,000 a year job.
Electrical engineers rock! You’re priceless to me; who knows how inconvenient and less sanitary life would be without all the excellent enhancements powered by electrical controls. No joke! I’d be fine if I had to go without parasitic bureaucrats but would be lost without the plans, designs & constructed works of engineers (electrical, structural, civil, transportation, etc.), for sure.
