| It really depends on your engineering degree and field.
We should limit this discussion to "just engineering fields", since an undergraduate engineer could easily get a lucrative consulting or investment bank firm and make six figures quickly. In addition, once you "go management" or get a MBA, you are being paid for your managerial skills/MBA and not primarily for your engineering degree.
I know a few Petroleum Engineering undergrads who are pushing near six figures (with bonuses)--but were either top of their class or have to work in Alaska. |
