Reply to comment by syizm in The average Aerospace salary is between $70k and $160k per year, based on salary reports of more than 500 aerospace professionals by Siglave

What is "bit low"? $160K seems pretty good.. though I suppose that would be the higher end and you mean relative to other sectors.

Its relative and comparative. $160k in Aero might be $200k elsewhere. Its typically some fixed % lower, but not always.

Its a mature albeit advanced field, which might explain it. As well so much of the aerospace sector is tied to the defense industry which similarly pays (comparatively) low.
