> Even now, engineers are not held in anywhere near the same regard in China as they are in the West. what a joke. Three Chinese Presidents in a row all had engineering background, yet this is still not enough? President Jiang Zemin was an engineer for decades. President Hu Jintao was an engineer for almost a decade. President Xi Jinping majored in chemical engineering from Tsinghua. Then you look at property prices in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen, it almost got a point that you can't afford to buy a home unless you work for some Internet companies or some banks. That is still not enough? How about the fact that most Software engineers got paid far more than lawyers and doctors/dentists?
