How well do jobs in engineering pay? |
i would like to go in to engineering as a career but wanna know what areas in america pay the best, what specific areas pay the best like mechanical, electriacl, civil etc. ?? any info on gettin a good job or what type of education is best, like how do i go about it best? Stay away from engineering disciplines that involve municipalities to employ you, like Civil... The real money is in technology not infrastructure. I have a BSEE And make close to 6 figures as a Telecommunications Engineer This is the best link I can provide ya with: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm... Other things to look at - aeronautical engineering might pay well, but how many jobs can you get in that field with just a bachelors? Petroleum is in big demand, but do you like to travel? Entrance level petro engineer will most likely be asked to travel. Do you like building bridges and roads, or prefer playing with machines? Civil does one, mechanical does the other. As in all careers, the better the school the better your chances of getting what you want. And plenty of math no matter where you go! not very, until they really get stuck and the paper pushers (suits) can't fix the thing cuz they don't know how. as you've probably guessed i'm really fedup cuz a guy off shore, who can't use tools gets the job cuz he's cheaper. this country is killing itself all in the name of profit. just go and try to buy a sheet of american made steel or aluminum Most entry level engineering positions pay roughly the same, from 45000 to 52000 depending on several criteria (GPA, locale, type of work, etc.) The point is to become the best engineer you can, then the money will come. You can have all the degrees you want, but if you arent a good engineer, you will be passed over for promotions. Just go into the field that interests you most. Engineers are in high demand and will be as long as there is a strong economy. Statistically speaking, entry level civil engineers are in the lower portion of the scale, while electrical and computer engineers are in the upper. I strongly suggest that you go for an internship so that you can feel out which one best suits you rather than chase the cash. I interned for a bit and now I'm a business Major, go figure. |
