Agree. I don't know much about California, but even in New England (where everything is expensive), an EE engineer with 5-10 years takes about 65-90K/year. There is rare case >100K/year for a engineer if you are not in a management level. Funny ----- Original Message ---- From: PAUL James To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public.

I am a 2 year degree Technician (ASEET) with >30 Years experience, and I make over 50K per year. So, a 4 year degree person with a similar amount of experience earning 150K per year doesn't seem that much of a stretch to me. I live and work in the Houston, Texas USA area.
