This is probably not the case concerning engineering, though.

I think you're correct, which is the reason going into engineering is a waste.

Just be a teacher, you make 140k vs 90k as an engineer. In retirement, you get 70% of your max salary every year for the rest of your life + 36,000/year social security. Engineers get nothing but a 30,000/year social security check.
Plus, teachers get guaranteed pay raises due to Union bullying. By next 20 years, teachers will make $270,000/year while engineers will be either outsourced or have lower wages due to supply glut.

There's almost too much stupid here to even begin to breakdown. Someone else do it.

You don't get a pension AND social security. Government Pension Offset.


Also, becoming a "teacher" Professor is not easy. A lot don't get tenure. And you have to change universities if you fail and try again at another university.
