Is there a significant difference in salary between physicists and engineers?

[Grands]

Hi guys, I have a short question.

In the US or Australia, or UK, Physicist and engineer has almost the same salary, or the are big differences ?

Thanks.

Depends more on whether they have a job as a bog cleaner or as the managing director of a major company .

True for some individuals, not so true for others. Like most generalizations it kind of falls apart when you look at individual cases.
