Really that bad for engineers?

Looking at all the pay...
i feel so shameful... 10 years with dip chem eng.. only 75k per annum..
need to work harder and get my degree in 2-3 years time..
i'm late late late....

I really regret joining 2 GLC in the whole career, till now pay still lower than my peers who start off same time as me.
