Engineers, as in Degree-qualified and experienced, Chartered Engineers do enjoy good earning potential.  More than most careers, even the "high earning" sectors like law but not as much as medics:

The odd thing is how that is achieved combined with an apparent complete lack of an numeracy skills.

I'm an experienced chartered engineer in one of the higher paid industries, albeit not in London and an employee rather than contractor.

You probably do things for yourself, though.  The way to success is clearly to just demand other people do everything for you while making absolutely no attempt to understand it.

People usually put "engineering manager" rather than "mechanical engineer" if they are management.

Happily, engineering is an industry where it's rare to be successful without understanding what you are talking about.

I think you might have misinterpreted my reply.

Possibly. I interpreted your reply as a comment that the OP appears to be asking others on this board to do his tax sums and making no effort to understand them himself.

To do that as an engineer and get paid highly for it, in most industries you'd have to be an engineering manager. Or more accurately the rare case of an engineering manager that gets away with this behaviour.

I did, but I meant it sarcastically rather than as a genuine explanation of his mysteriously high salary.
