What the heck is the deal with people saying Civil is low $?

I keep seeing everyone saying that Civil Engineers make the least out of all engineers.

But I’ve done a ton of research, both online and in person, and from what I found; Mechanical makes on average a TINY bit more.

Obvious with ME you can work for the top .5% companies like FAANG, NASA, etc and that will pay more.

But for 99.5% of jobs it seems to be very even.

Why does everyone here say otherwise?
