A chemical technician or a boiler installer earns more than a biologist or a journalist

A report by Fundación CYD reveals that chemical technicians and installation professionals earn more than biologists and journalists four years after graduation. These technical roles, which require specialized training, meet specific industry demands, leading to higher salaries. Chemical technicians can earn over €30,200 annually, often surpassing chemical engineers. Despite their higher earnings, these fields struggle to attract young talent due to misconceptions about the nature of the work. The report highlights the importance of technical education in meeting labor market needs and the financial benefits it can provide.
