You could likely find another job at higher pay. Depending on your experience level, you should probably be looking to earn 25-50% more.

Since you didn't indicate which type of engineering technician you are, then you might take a look at this link. It's from the Occupational Outlook Handbook. They list the average income for any career.

I don't know that you're worth much more since you seem to spend a lot of time posting questions here at Yahoo!Answers and stewing over the fact your boss is in Disney World. Get back to work.

Didn't you know the pay before you accepted the job? You are only getting ....ed if you were deceived in some way. Other then that you are the one responsible for accepting the position, you could have said "no thanks."

Well, depends. Where did you get your degree. When you mean Engineering Tech, what discipline are we talking about. Also, how long have you been in this position and when did you graduate?
