For the level of education and skill needed to make a good engineer, it is underpaid. It's not about entitlement -- it's the real economic forces the article mentions. The most skilled people will be attracted to other careers. Maybe it means engineering isn't as valuable as we think. Or maybe it means engineers aren't as good at wielding their power. I think it means more engineers do it for love of the work. And there's no gating body/cartel to protect it.
