I'm a bit sceptical of the stuff posted here but when more than half of it's engineering, it's worth a look isn't it?

KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...

I would think this people would make more money since they are the experts of how to handle money.

Or maybe it's a case of not practicing what you preach/do as I say not as I do.

And my wife is an Occupational Therapist and she makes more than me, working only 32 hours / week. I can't believe therapists aren't listed.
(I love useless statistics like these. They make my day reminding me how underpaid and overworked I really am, and this is the best job I've had to date.)

On the other hand, I get a decent rate for straight time.

In the past I would get either straight time for anything over 45 hours or comp time. But I would only ever work over 40 two or three weeks out of the year.
Automotive (and I am sure most other industries) are bad because we keep downsizing but the work load keeps going up. I had one job that paid me in the 40's (with no overtime) that expected me to work 80 hours/week. You can look at that as them trying to pay me 10/hour. they sure didn't mention that during the interview. Anyways I laughed then quit shortly thereafter.
Time to get a job with a more laid back atmosphere again ;)

If you look at Thinkjob.com webpage listings for operators, managers, and engineers associated with nuclear power plants, they are making way over $30/ hr- some listings are showing annual salaries of $190 K/ annum

Are you aware of all the background checks and evaluations that are involved in working at a nuclear plant?
I have to believe that they are greater than that of the regular power engineers.
Also most nuclear plants are not in the most popular locations.

If you saw a worker bee engineer job for $190k, it was probably San Onofre nuclear plant. Take a look at the cost of living before you decide if that's a good deal.
Most nuke plants are in more remote places with more reasonable costs of living. Unfortunately, $190k is not likely unless you became a supervisor, manager, or shift supervisor qualified.
There is a nuclear renasance (sp?) in the making. Has resulted in a big demand for engineers with nuke experience. I haven't seen the pay scales skyrocket yet but my crystal ball says the next ten years will be very good to us.

I also hate that in my state all the police have a special scanner they can get all the background information from your license plate while you drive passed them.
