I personally agree with Ed. Terry, I frankly don't see what your problem is - the guy just wanted to know aprroximately how much engineers make, and he DOES have a right to know that. He didn't ask how much you make down to dollars and cents - just a ballpark figure, and I don't see how that is rude. <br />I also think that private sector jobs where your position is based exclsuively on seniority have something very wrong with them. I believe that your rank and salary should be based on how much you know, and how well you can do your job - and NOT on what your age is. This is one of the reasons that I have decided against trying to be an airline pilot - even though I love flying. While 767 and 747 captains make tons of money ($200,000+), you have to wait until you're 50 to be one. <br />Well, you might say it's the question of experiecne. But, I say, that one person can make correct decisions with 5 years experience, and naother can screw up with 20 years of experience, so you know.... <br />Also, the mandatory union membership is not attractive. While I am not anti-union by any means. some aspect of their bureaucracy reminds me of communist bureaucracy in the Soviet Union.....
