Don't like billout rate vs. pay? Go to a different job shop.



Why should you expect lower wages than a mech engineer?



For one thing, you don't have a degree. It's just an expensive piece of paper, and doesn't say all that much about qualifications. And still, it's the ticket to better money/jobs.



So, you may know just as much as a mech engineer, but you are not a mech engineer. Liability for the company comes into play here. If you were an engineer, you could be billed out as such, and your work would take on different value to the company.
