Yea so does Luka Doncic for every hoop in basketball. What’s your point? Outliers exist. That doesn’t stop the average from being average.

>>510131042 (OP)
It’s fucking criminal how little engineering pays now. Our salaries got completely fucked by inflation. 10 years ago $73k was a good starting salary out of college. Now? Same fucking thing, except $73k isn’t shit anymore

>>510131527
barely above poverty wage

>>510131707
Don’t forget you owe loans for five plus years of college to attain a bachelor’s. So in reality unless you keep taking classes, you are paying at least $7k of that a year to your loan.

>>510131707
Not sure if you’re joking, but given the schooling required, yeah it pretty much is. You might as well just be an equipment operator, with overtime they’re making more than engineers now

>>510131489
Outliers are only outliers if they are rare.

How can you afford such a large shower?

>>510131042 (OP)
How is this possible

>>510131042 (OP)
Job market is rigged. It’s who you know, not what you know. Just like your elections.

I've wondered why /g/'s CS talent haven't started their own companies more often

How many streamers make $70k a video? Nonetheless ones who regularly do. It isn’t that many chief.

>>510131042 (OP)
It gets better: also word of advice, look for promotional opportunites, or get experience and move to another company, that's usually a 10% bump - don't stagnate and look for growth; learning the business never hurts either. I'm an Engineer with 20 years and moved into roles. Average starting ME salary was around 50k then.

>>510132027
Research sites claim the average is 100,000+
My cousin is a teacher, who posts cats to her instagram.
She has less than 7000 followers, and she makes more from Instagram than teaching.

>>510132148
This is very true. True for me at least. Sometimes the only way up is out

>>510132149
That has to be consignment or something. Advertisers aren’t spending $60k a year to cater content to 7k people. That shit doesn’t add up

>>510131042 (OP)
Grim, I always assumed engineers made more than me. Hang in there friend.

There are twitch streamers with 400 viewers average who say they make more than their past full time 40k job.

>>510131042 (OP)
Dude, I'm making $126K this year with an associates as a fire marshall with overtime...

>>510131042 (OP)
If you live withing 100 miles of the sea in the USA that sucks.

>>510132441
But that’s probably the whole hustle package. Affiliate links, advertising deals, paid per click ads, and even third party engagement. Which means working more than 40 hours a week. Nothing is free and if it were easy, every person you know would do it and be shitty at it and still make a fortune. I’ve looked into it myself and it is a whole hustle.

>>510132441
It's completely possible (I know someone personally who does it) but it is somewhat RNG

>>510132149
Teaching in canada must suck balls. Even if all 7k followers view every video and she makes it unwatchable by putting adds she is getting 30 bucks a pop tops

>>510131042 (OP)
Oh no you're making $76k at 28 yo wow how terrible omg

>university cost for the entire 4 years
>100k-200k usd

Seriously, what the fuck? Its also mind baffling that theres people paying so much money and wasting time to get a degree that most likely will be obsolete in a few months or years due to AI

>>510131042 (OP)
Build something with your degree and use it to get back at society.

He is just kidding, that is only tuition. You still have to take into account that you need to sleep and eat.

>>510133297
you are underestimating how bad TV's reach has fallen and how much advertisers are panicing trying to find new markets

Now imagine how bad a $35,000 office job is these days.

>>510131042 (OP)
You spent 8 years in college for that degree. You should have gone to medical school instead.

You're an american with an american mechanical engineering degree. Start your own company ffs. Engineering is meant to think how to problemsolve. There are endless ideas if you have a mechanical engineering degree. Solve your problem which is low wage.
>t. Bachelor in engineering physics and doing master in engineering physics. Will start own company

>>510134209
This is a fucking larp hahaha you earn $70k max and im being kind to you mutt.

>>510131042 (OP)
If you're an American, that means you can get a security clearance to work in the defence sector.

Despite being a rich and successful engineer - I cannot. They require 10 years of US residency.

You have access to a sector that isn't allowed to take H1B visas. So you can make something happen.

>>510136871
How can you be rich and successful as engineer in Poland? you own the company? salaries there are quite low, even for european standards
