:haha: I have found $90K-$100K, thats about it.
90k - 100k per year equates to about $250-260 which is far from the $70 that I predicted.

I'm right, trust me. It's $70/day, about $26000/year.

Engineering is a varying field for pay... first year most engineers will get paid between $42,000-$50,000 and will continure to increase over the years and ranks in the business.

After 20 years in engineering and a higher rank... most people get paid around $200,000+. Go Engineers.

You gotta be joking me. $26000 is not sufficient to support a family and pay off mortgage.

My dream scenario would be one in which:
  • I do minimal work
  • I get maximum returns
  • I get to travel the world all the time and just go on holidays lol

?!!??!?! $26,000 is NOTHING. It is only the bare necessities for life. You need to be making at least $40,000 a year in a decent sized city to live comfortably.... even then its hard. Most people will be paying of a mortgage and it is heaps these days...

I am aiming to get over $50,000 p/a within the first 3 years. :) High Hopes.

That would be a dream. But also to do something challenging once in a while that intrests me. Or game testing will do me.

You can just sit at home and wank all day. That would be pretty ace.

You're already doing that and your dad is paying you while he watches ... and he's playing with ants.

Apparently its supposed to be around $60,000. But if you take into account that 11% of Australians are actually homeless I would say that the average salary/wage should be about $30,000.

It's true. My brother is a mechatronic person and he's only making an average of about $60/day, $70 on a good day.

Who are you going to believe? Someone who personally knows a mechatron, or someone who doesn't?
