I think as engineers we are all a bit spoiled with good salaries. On the other hand software engineering is quite an abstract craft with questionable personal rewards. Maybe we can think about it more as a temporary stage where we use our skills to get the good money and if the time should be over we could more concentrate on what "pays reasonably well" in other terms like doing good things, gratitude of others, ... Maybe think about what is needed: kindergarten teacher, ranger, stuff like that. Could be very useful and satisfying

Other professions should be paid more, software engineers should generally not be paid less. We’re only spoiled in tech in comparison to how poor other fields are paid. Personally I was doing a fairly glamorous non tech job (engineering super cars like Ferrari, Bentley, Aston Martin , Rolls Royce etc.) and even that was poorly paid in comparison to tech.

  > Other professions should be paid more, software engineers should generally not be paid less. Sure, but only one of those is a realistic option, and it’s not the former.
