1. Engineers are underappreciated. There is no 'aura' about being one. Think about Dilbert.
2. Engineers make good but not great money, typically less than doctors and lawyers. And lots of 'professions' that require less (or no) education make more money than engineers. Real Estate, marketing, etc, etc.
3. Becoming and Engineer is not easy. Lots of people simply don't have the math skills.
And I wouldn't look down my nose at any Chinese Engineering degrees. I have had a couple work for me, and they were in no way inferior to the 'domestic' version.
