an engineer can make as high as 200k but it's entirely relative to their company and their industry.
Absolutely, I made that point in my first post. Geographical location is even more important than employer.

In general, EI/PE necessity is discipline/function specific. A large majority of engineering graduates don't need it at all. Alma mater is not really important within a geographic region, especially with some experience. Likewise, GPA/internships only matter for initial employment.

Here's some data from the AIChE salary survey specific to ChemEs.

11 out of 14 are in the range or lower that I listed. One misses the range by 3k.

I rest my case

Those are median salaries including first year employees and 30 year workers. You said you max out at 115-130. 30 year is skewing much higher, first years are probably in the 80-90k range for chemE. And again, that is an engineer actually staying in an engineering role.

You don't know what mean and median are.

Engineering or MD. Become a Radiologist and make around $1,000,000 per year

Math/statistics or even better a data science/informatics field. Regardless..learn R/python.

Did you just have a stroke? Your range was 75K starting-115K max.
And as pointed out, those are medians.

79% of industry specific median salaries exceed your range.

83% of function specific median salaries exceed your range.

In all likelihood those distributions are right-skewed, as they are for the regional distributions, and the mean is higher.

I love crushing retards on hump day.

I don't think all but a handful of radiologist make that kinda bank. More likely $300K-$400K

You know everyone can just go back to the first page and see where you said start at $75k and end at $115k right?

It's amazing how little posters here know about salaries. I see them everyday, yet according to the OT every profession makes at least a quarter million

What about the posts after that where I provided data indicating salaries were from 110-130 which I said was accurate?

Or do you just cherry pick for confirmation bias?
