lol lol lol, I know PCB engineers that have 20 years exp that are not even hitting that.
Personally if a graduate came looking to me for a job asking for that wage you would get left in the meeting room alone until you have the balls to walk out.
Kids these days, I want the moon on a stick.
30k is pushing it but a grad with an MEng is going to get £25-28k fairly easily.
Haha what, 20 years and only on £30k? Madness.
Just over a year out of uni I was on £38k as a mechanical engineer.
But are you worth it ?
I can answer that for you, simply No, but good luck if you can get it.

Well I'm not surprised you think that way if you're working with a quality of engineers who are only worth £30k after 20 years of experience.
Another strange expression which you've said twice now. I'm interested how people can get to that stage in your mind. Are they supposed to tell you they want 38k in the interview and then you walk out? Or do they say before the interview and you just leave them waiting all day?I would never pay a graduate with 2yrs experience 38k, again. in the waiting room till they have the balls to leave.

The rest of the stuff you've said in this thread is equally obscure. And it's "their", not "there".
[...]The world needs more engineers and the crying shame is the UK is desperately short of them and as we are discussing compared to other professions which require much less knowledge and skill is vastly underpaid in general. (we can blame the BBC for this but that is another rant entirely)
Depends on your field, Personally if I was leaving uni again I would go Nuclear. Give aerospace a miss as its dreadfully slow paced and really really boring. I used to fix helicopters and it was damm sight more fun than designing stuff for them. (I did it back to front and did the Army before UNI)
They might have more knowledge, but they're not very smart if they're working for such a pittance after so long.
