But these 'competent engineers' rocking 100k+ in this boom cycle, are not 69% of the population.

If you are in the lucky minority, be honest with yourself and put money aside while it lasts. I have friends for whom it didn't.

No really, by competent I mean just general competency. Like the ability to ship a product at all. Not talking about superstars or whatever.
