<p>Now allow me to turn the question around. For as long as I have been on this part of the forum - which has been years - I have battled numerous posters, seemingly including yourself, who apparently continue to believe that engineers should simply not be paid better, but rather should simply be satisfied with their lot. And to that, I must continue to ask the question: why do you fight? You guys are truly not interested in having more money? Or at least the possibility of having more money. If so, hey, feel free to send it to me. I’ll take it off your hands. {One counterargument seems to be that any pay increase might only accrue to the top x% of engineers. But so what? You might work your way up to becoming part of that x%. Even if not, shouldn’t you at least support your fellow engineers who are part of that x%? Just because you might not make more, why would you want to prevent others from doing so? }</p>
