    $50,000 a year?

    Huh, I always thought it would be higher then that, given how people talk about their salaries. It's not bad by any means, but it's not shockingly high.

    That's where I started as a software developer. It has done up dramaticially in the last few years. It's all about experience.

    How is discerning aesthetic qualities an act of intelligence?

    You aren't Kant, are you?
    True story, my girl friend and I use Kant as a cuss word.

    "God. Did you see that stupid Kant?"

    "What did you just say?"

    "I'm just talking about philosophy."

    We can dig it. 8-)

    I prefer to use Kent personally.

    I use it as a curse word, too.

    Technically, the proper pronounciation of "Kant" is "Cunt". So, I mean, in any Kant class there ought to be many offended women by the end if everything is pronounced correctly.

    Most engineers get $50-60,000 per year and a soulcrushing job that makes them yearn for death.

    ENJOY!

    maybe 50-60K living in utah...

    starting salary for an engineer just out of college is between 50 and 60K....

    senior engineers can easily get 6 figures.

    "Raging" is probably being pretty generous in Podly's case.

    "Mildly perturbed" is likely more accurate.

    Saying you're an engineer is really really unspecific. It's a catch all term and there are thousands upon thousands of possible jobs that you might actually have.

    Few engineers become rich, a significant amount have a very decent salary.

    Also, going into oil as an engineer is unspecific. The money you'll make depends on what you can be doing. As the Scandinavian countries push out tens of thousands of masters engineers every year, it's extremely logical to realise that very few, in fact, become rich.

    true

    some will earn 60 million dollars for a few years work

    some will only earn 500-600k a year

    and live pretty well off that
