This is my DH. It's really his people and soft skills that allowed him to stand out among the other engineers (that, combined with smart, go getter, working hard. . .)

$150k isn't high income. If you are not generating revenue, you will most likely never be high income.

What you're not getting is that it's not going to increase from there.
And no. Doctors, lawyers and financiers make A LOT more.
My IT husband makes more than my doctor sibling.
Good for him (and you), but that's not the average.

150k at 27 is great, but they're likely going to be making only slightly higher 10 years later. Most of the senior-level developers I know make $175-200k.
Lawyers and doctors do a lot better later in their careers.

Almost all of my friends who went to engineering school ended up getting MBAs or law degrees.

150k is not high in this area. It's about average. Maybe if he makes above 300k (500k??).

Because $150k isn't HIGH income. But engineers can get rich by starting a company (gov't contracting, start-up, or the like).

Because we top out around there unless you move up the management ladder or invent/set up your own company.
