I'm a Tech, & I find Stackexchange pretty inadequate. --- End quote --- IMHO technicians are broadly under-appreciated and under-paid. A good tech requires much of the same skillset as a good engineer, with an additional set of skills on top of that. I think in many cases technician should be a class of engineer. |

Therefore, your knowledge is worthless. --- End quote --- You're joking, right? --- End quote --- That was to show that OP's question did not make sense in the first place. |

Engineers have an addition set of skills that technicians don't - or rather most don't need. The analogy "engineer:technician is as doctor:nurse" isn't a bad analogy. There is overlap, but also a lot of difference. |

bottom line is that the sales people get paid more as apparently they make the money. If they are that good at smoozing the customer and telling white lies that we engineers can just deliver maybe we should present them with an empty box to sell as a challenge :) |

Engineers, especially software engineers make very good money around here. At one of the major tech companies a competent mid level software engineer is typically earning well into six figures with good benefits. Technicians seem to earn about 1/2 or less what a hardware engineer would make. |
