It was about 1 1/2 years of salary as an engineer almost three years out of school. I don’t know what young plant engineers make today, but the same ratio might not be far off.
You were making 100k in 1992? That would be $238k today.

No, I was making in the low $40K’s in 1992. I was guessing that plant engineers with that same amount of experience make about $120K today? So that would be equivalent of around a $180K purchase.
