It is not that bad for Engineers, it is indeed very very bad for Engineers.....Engineers are suppose to be professionals but sad to say the salary does not really reflect we are professionals at all...If you are a local uni engineering grad, please think back how much hard work, time, energy and effort you put into earning your engineering degree, only to realize that this degree does not get you anywhere.....I have a Masters and a Bachelor both in engineering from local uni, ultimately after 2 years working as an engineer, I realize I study the wrong course and definitely working in the wrong industry....No offence to the engineers out there, this is only my humble personal opinion, of course, you may disagree with me....
