An inspiration for all engineers:

"Mayer joined Google in 1999 as employee number 20 and was the company's first female engineer"

Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marissa_Mayer

Mayer is now CEO Yahoo!, only 37 and just give birth to a baby boy. Her current net worth is estimated at US$300M. Btw, she is a salaried employee - just like you and me. She's my idol engineer.

To sum up, you'll need to market your innovations and ideas to make big bucks.
