Why are chemical engineers paid so less?

[u/Illustrious-Art-55]

They work at dangerous sites, their work includes many complex operations, its way more complex then writing some code in AC room and the companies they work for? They earn in millions, still Chemical engineers are not paid good say in terms of IT industry or even automobile for that matter.

. I would argue with me not being paid as good as some programmer. Millions? companies earn billions..... and it goes into growth and paying dividends to stock owners.. sounds like you got sour grapes.
