Question

How highly is a county engineer/design engineer typically paid in a US county of 20 000- 100 000?

Answer 1

There are many factors so an answer is almost impossible to give.

I'll try to narrow it down for you a bit though.

A county with only 20,000 people in it is very small and must be considered rural. A county engineer is also what I would consider to be a government employee and would probably be paid less than someone working in industry.

However since the average engineer leaving a university today with a mechanical engineering degree will make $50,000 per year I would estimate that a county engineer for a small rural location would make between $50,000 and $100,00 each year.

It's just a guess.
