I was a licensed Mechanical PE for 35 years and in the construction business for 45 years. I started at $2.10 per hour for the last 10 years I worked I made $100 - $125K per year with a $25k contribution to an IRA. That was a great salary to live in Indiana

This was so honest. Im currently a Automation Technician, i have a 2 year applied degree. I want to go back to school for mechanical but i dont want the student loan debt. Your video puts things into great perspective. Thank you !

[@Maruchan-jk4jp]

I had more career success with an AAS degree in biomedical tech than going back to college for a BSME. I lost a lot of credit hrs during the transfer process. Back then I thought it would be worth it. Boy was I wrong...lol.

[@jiwoongjang6386]

Nah bro I know so many mechanical engineers with starting salaries at 60k the average is probably 65k starting across America, he must have a masters or something, that’s too much even for something in San Fran or Seattle, coming from a process engineer at honda, he is CAPPING, we don’t make shit

[@akshaykumarvyas]

Most software engineers are living in expensive areas like bay area, new York etc. here high salaries are not useful because of high living costs. but mechanical engineering companies are in less expensive places where living costs are low and those salaries are attractive.

Your purchasing power is still triple what people around the nation make. For example, online goods are the same for everyone. And despite the cost of living, your take home is still multiples what an ME makes

Agreed, I feel like software engineers are more exposed to the effects of AI, things will likely be different very soon. Even if they are the ones designing AI, I bet there will be a lot more replaced by it vs being able to create AI

[@yohankuttiparichel1155]

So should i even become a mechanical engineer or is this problem reserved for places with high costs of living like silicon valley.

[@carinthesunset1971]

First off, do what makes you happy! But I think this is reserved for high cost of living areas, and as long as you budget your expenses, you should be alright. Imo he very well could've found a cheaper place to rent, and a cheaper car to pay off, and that would've given him more money to play with lol

[@habeebadegbite329]

Let's be real, software engineer salaries are likely to decrease significantly in the future as everyone and their mom wants to become a software engineer. Too many people coming out of bootcamps, layoffs, threat of AI etc is not making the long term outlook look good for future software engineers. I think mechanical engineer salaries are likely to stay similar (in line with inflation) in the future and software engineer and mechanical engineer salaries should likely be the same so just choose what you enjoy more I guess.

Also as a mechanical undergraduate myself, Iam looking to pursue a masters in mechanical engineering, according to you which major in mechanical engineering pays you the most and which has the lowest potential of being replaced in the future by technology?

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Companies usually have enrollment periods for stuff that gets deducted out of your pay. Things like health ins., 401k, life ins., and other things. As far as I know, you can opt out of anything that isn't State or Federally mandated as deduction from income. Right now, you'd probably better off taking that 401k deduction and just buying physical gold with it, storing it in something you can touch with your own hands and no middle person can steal away.
