The world is NOT fair, pay rates are not fair or based much on merit.
Generally my experience is that getting a high salary is not an engineering
skill. Might be a talent you are either born with or not, I sure don't
know. I know very good engineers that happily work for peanuts, and
decidedly mediocre engineers who haul down money like lawyers.
My last comment, in this thread anyway, on teachers is just wait til your
kids have a few years of school, then tell us what a swell underpaid bunch
they are.
