Funny, since our company sets records in such areas. We are
over 50%
Engineers, and many have PhDs.

Stop hiding behind anonymity and tell us what company that is.

Safeway?

I know a cashier there with a BSEE... makes more money than he
can make in industry... just got promoted to an assistant manager
position ;-)

That sounds strange. Almost any adequate electrical engineer can
get
a 100K+ per year job now days, i know many that have them. I doubt
that even a grocery store (location) manager in a grocery chain
makes that much, i could be wrong though.

$100K is around the +1sigma point, I believe. I've had recruiters
tell me that their client *really* needed people and was wiling to
pay. They started back-peddling when I told them what I was making.
Suddenly other things became more important. Outside silly valley,
I
believe $100K is good money. ...and yes, the general manager of a
large chain grocery store can easily get to $100K.


Maybe in silly valley, not often elsewhere.

Yes, often (both occupations).

See also BosWash, NYNY,
and parts of Chicago. Maybe even Bollywood.

...and the rest of the US. $100K isn't an outstanding salary
anymore. One can live quite well on it, but it's hardly the top-o-
the-heap.

Just high enough to get you into AMT, which the Demoncrats will use to
milk you...

I'm waiting for that fit to hit the shan! The middle class is going
to go ape over it, just as Queen Hillary is anointed.
