Except engineers who have PEs and FEs don't exactly have massive salaries. "Software Engineers" are paid EXTRAORDINARILY well, especially compared to the amount of effort needed for that salary.
- linkregister 10y agoI would put it the other way: PEs and FEs are wildly underpaid for their abilities. They are paid at the market price for the low job-growth market they're in, unfortunately. It's the same story with mathematicians and physicists who become finance quants. The finance world pays much better.
