We've rarely had such an emphatic response to a poll. Of the 591 readers who responded, two-thirds picked the option that engineers did not complain too much about pay and were not paid enough. Unfortunately, we can't separate out whether respondents were agreeing with both parts of the statement or only one. Of the remaining respondents, 15 per cent thought that engineering salaries were good, 11 per cent agreed that complaining about pay levels was counterproductive, and only 4 per cent thought that an interesting and worthwhile job was an ample reward. Another four percent declined to pick an option.
