I know a few construction engineers, guess I should tell them...
Roo-country has pretty high rep in Switzerland.
The engineering field is coming back in the US as well. Rates plummeted for new hires and flattened out for those that managed to stay billable during the slump but they are coming back now. I even got a small raise a few months ago and now I'm doing 50 hour weeks again so life is good. That Ferrari might not be as far out in the future as I thought!

New engineering graduates are coming in at decent rates although not as good as it was a couple of years before the slump. Back then a new grad process engineer could start at $37 and hour (USD)!
