I almost counted Scott Adams as an engineer, but looking him up, though he was a programmer briefly before he was a cartoonist, his education is a BA in economics and an MBA, and he seems to have held more managerial roles than technical.

But there's plenty of very smart, clued-in engineers who've made enough to retire and could, if they chose to, build hellraising careers online.

The few engineer-types who are clued-in enough to understand and manipulate emotions are busy being CEOs. Why raise a mob and be forgotten after a few years when you could make millions/billions starting a company?
