What kinds of engineers have balance? And income ?  [/quote]

DH makes $92K as a mechanical engineer (about 10 years experience, started around $65K) in a much more affordable part of the country. He works probably 45 hours a week, but could easily stick to 40 if he wanted/needed to, and doesn't bring work home hardly at all. Maybe twice a year he has a pressing deadline and will bring home his laptop to finish something up for a few hours on the weekend. [/quote]

+1 engineer. Make 100k after 8 years, rarely have to work over 40 hrs. Also in DC area, and could make more but choose to have a less stressful job.[/quote]

This is key- there are levels to lots of engineering jobs, which make them great. Because there are often just "pedal to the metal" or "barely working with your degree" jobs in other fields to be found.

DH is an engineer and works in a chew them up industry, so he makes bank but honestly, they own him.[/quote]
