Good read, thank you. I agree that engineers are not factory workers and that they are acceleration. I dont see how this alone has a significant impact on negotiating an offer though. Should bridge engineers feel entitled to more because a lot of traffic will pass on their work for years to come?

Yes, if you want to take some risk and be a partner or shareholder of a company you believe has potential. Otherwise you get paid market rate for your profession. Or if you do get paid more its because you did an awesome job at convincing the employer how great your contribution will be.
