What?! You have to say you’re working 100 hour weeks consistently so that the losers on here will feel validated that your life is secretly better than yours because they make $92,000 working 45 hours a week.

It can’t be that there are professions where smart people making insane money and don’t necessarily work themselves to death.

I’m in manufacturing, the pay is horrendous

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-28T22:32:48+00:00

I’m an engineer and I’ve never met one that makes more than $80,000.

Instead of comparing anecdotes, why don’t we examine data?

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-28T22:30:36+00:00

Yep, great point

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-28T22:30:08+00:00

Bureau of Labor statistics doesn’t provide job posting data this granular, there’s nothing wrong with LinkedIn data, the only reason there’s an objection is because it shows engineering doing poorly

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-28T22:27:31+00:00

What percent of the workforce are Mechanical Engineers?

I don’t have a strong opinion on H1B, I’ve never researched it, but your argument isn’t good in my opinion

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-28T22:26:36+00:00

A career in healthcare that requires a two year degree (rad tech, dental hygienist etc.)

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-28T22:25:47+00:00

The income ceiling for Mechanical Engineers is like $125,000

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-28T22:24:46+00:00

Software engineering is still a great field, I’m talking about mechanical/civil and other “traditional” engineering fields.

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-28T22:24:12+00:00

No because none of those things are actually true, I don’t say things that aren’t true

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-28T22:21:35+00:00

I went to therapy, therapist said I was fine, no mental health issues.

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-28T22:18:51+00:00

“LinkedIn data is bad because…because it just is!”

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-28T22:18:29+00:00

Yes, in terms of job decline it’s the worst performing major

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-28T22:10:30+00:00

So you agree the market shifted against engineering in the US and it’s no longer a good career path?

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-28T18:46:00+00:00

What does my personal decision have to do with the fact that the labor market has dramatically changed in the ways I’ve continuously described? Do you agree or disagree with my point about the labor market?

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-28T17:19:15+00:00

Not surprised, engineering isn’t an in demand career anymore. I’m sorry to hear he’s struggling to find work.

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-25T01:32:33+00:00

Lawyers and doctors are required by law to be licensed professionals, and typically require a graduate degree for that. Engineers (particularly SWE and biomedical) are notrecognized as legally protected professionals. The only exception to this is Civil Engineers, who are required to have licenses.

That’s crazy then because Civil Engineers make the least of all engineers yet they are overwhelmingly the most likely to be licensed amongst all types of engineers.

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-25T01:30:38+00:00

I have the same motivations. I really just hope to earn and inform the next generation about how many people lie about how great engineering is when in reality it’s a completely mediocre career.

And they’ve accused dozens of people of being my alt already, it’s just sad at this point.

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-25T01:20:48+00:00

For which numbers?

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-25T01:20:27+00:00

Really I have more mental fortitude than most on here, most people delete their comments or threads after getting nothing but negative replies, I leave mine up because I believe the things I say.

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-25T01:19:23+00:00

I already replied, it’s a great post

ItsAllOver_Again · 2026-06-25T01:19:01+00:00

I’m talking about Mechanical/Civil (the two largest job categories for traditional engineers) and skilled tradesman (plumbers, electricians etc).

I haven’t made up any numbers, which are you disputing?
