Not really worked up about why you said what you said, I appreciate any insight from those in the trade (no pun intended). The truth stands that engineers make more than $10 an hour. We aren't in the seventies anymore. Thanks for the opinion though.

What are you talking about? Talking about fun with respect to trading and engineering is toootally relative. When you put money first, you pay more attention... There is no engineering job that pays $10 an hour. Not one. The avg. civil engineering degree out of school for the US is 52k a...
