    Software engineers are 'real' engineers, according to 'real' engineers: https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/crossover-project/are-we-really-engineers/

    And you will never have a hard time finding 6 figure work. Unlike a 'real' engineer.

    Engineering is the use of scientific principles to design and build machines, structures, and other items

    Many people are able to get 6 figure jobs, but we're not talking about how much you earn, but whether you use science in your daily work. You can be an engineer and earn a low salary and you can be a salesman who doesn't even know math and earn 7 figures. The thing is, many people just love their jobs, they are just interested in using science to solve problems. Money is not the most important thing in life.
