The one example pair you've given so far is schoolteacher versus engineer, citing the fact that they require the same amount of schooling. Just because the standard for a college bachelor's degree is four years does not mean that they are learning the same things in those four years, or that any person could equally decide to earn either degree. Engineers are generally more intelligent and more skilled than schoolteachers. (Quite a few of my teachers were downright stupid, in fact.)
Do you have any other examples of jobs which are truly on par with each other?
