Building models and positions

OK, I am going to register a membership to
http://www.nahb.org/

That is a home builder's web site, hopefully they have
digital data for  home buildings in USA.

I am afraid they will throw me out of the door if I
bring up my request too soon. They have a local office
about 15 miles from my apartment in Tewksbury, MA.

My cousin, 2 years younger than me, recently became a
registered architect in Taiwan. I am 31 now. I am
about to get a CCIE certificate, have passed the
written part for more than 1 year and taken the lab
exam twice.

I am embarrassed to even think about talking to my
cousin about my idea of using their data to build our
simulator world. We, in USA, don't pay too much
respect to software engineers as scientists. In
Taiwan, it is worse. In Taiwan, flight attendants or
RN's make twice as much salary as a cutting-edge
technology engineer. A registered architect makes 10
times more money than a software engineer in Taiwan.
There is no such job title as "scientist" in Taiwan.

That's why I ended up in USA. I am just confused about
my life. I don't make less money than a registered
nurse or registered architect here in USA. I think all
the high-end technology graduates in Taiwan will end
up in USA in less than 5 years after graduation.

I heard about doctors make less than hair dressers in
Russia.

How do you talk to a people that degrade what we think
should be respected? What do you do if this people is
your people, your family, your parents, your siblings?
I haven't spoken to any of them for 3 years.

My name used to be Tengchiang Tsao. Picked up this
English name this year after getting granted a green
card. I converted a couple MSFS bgp scenario files for
my own FG use using PPE a few years ago.
