Companies think $65k is too much??

For context, I’m an environmental engineer/specialist. I work in water treatment, watershed protection, and compliance. (In the field, so it does pay less than the lead engineers) I have 3 years experience, and 3 state licenses. This is the second outright rejection I’ve received with the reason stating my salary requirement of at least $65k is too high. They indicated they couldn’t come reasonably close, so just how bad is the pay really?? I just had an interview with Panda Express as a regional manager. It was paying even more than $65k. Wtf is going on? How has it gotten so bad that middle positions in engineering pay less than fast food restaurants??
