Pay the nerds

Do engineers get payed enough? It's sometimes hard to think they do, considering they usually have 4-5 years of uni, 12 years of school and 12-48 weeks of vacation work under their belt. Does a plumber or a brickie deserve to get payed the same amount after their on-the-job training or apprenticeship?

Well, perhaps they do. I'm sure their work is much more boring and backbreaking so I guess it evens out. Perhaps we engineers enjoy our work too much (because we are nerds at heart) to get paid huge amounts. Why pay someone a lot if they like their job?
