Imagine that doctors and nurses were paid the same. Would you still think that?
Other than salary, neither being a doctor or a nurse is "better". One is more technical, the other involves more personal contact, but neither of those is better, just different.
The same is true for Software Engineers and Test Engineers. It's snobbery to say one is better.
We should be lobbying to get nurses paid more.
- humanrebar 10y agoWell, nurses do take direction and even orders from doctors.
- edblarney 10y agoThis is sarcasm, right?
- flukus 10y ago"Higher skill" would be a better description, although I'd say the gap is a lot smaller with test engineers than nurses.
