I'm not knocking factory workers, but an 18 year old tightening bolts shouldn't be making twice as much as a 32 year old responsible for multi-million dollar projects, after paying his dues through college and exams. IMHO"
Actually "Wally" only asked "Huh?" and never stated anything about factory workers vs so-called professionals....but while we are on the subject...I do fall into that classification as a highschool dropout/factory worker.....who also RETIRED at 55. How many professionals you know that were able to retire at 55? Folks make choices in life and it takes all kinds to make our world tick...and everyone is important no matter what their role is.

My bosses are planning to retire soon. RA and PE Professional need to open their own business and work in area that can earn them the most $ with the least efforts. What I notice over the years are that most of my classmates and now exam buddies are doing it not for the $ they're doing it because thats what they what to do. By the time they realize they're in financial poo-poo they can't start over so they have to stuck with their lower paying job. I will not be a low paying RA. I want my own business I will do any dirty job and anything to get the most out of my license when I'm done with my exams....Only Predesign, Construction document and 2 structural multiple choise exams left. I want a Turbo GT PT atleast(if not an S2000) [?] O btw their are 9 exams 3 are 6hour exams and the other 6 are 3 hour multiple choice and if your daughter is going to marriage an architect tell her she will be broke and will not have a good life since his always low on $$$ and never around and if he does his never happy. ......as for me I'm only 26
