<p>You can look at the average starting salaries that different schools post for their different majors. In general, I would imagine schools want to brag about their starting salaries if they’re good. So if you don’t see them, they’re probably not good.</p>
<p>If you look at MBA starting salaries, they are a lot higher than M.Eng (whatever you call the degree) starting salaries, however, a lot of that probably has to do with the fact that the guy getting the MBA already has 5 or 6 years of work experience, where as often times, the guy getting the M.Eng has none. </p>
<p>Financial Engineering/Quant Finance (I guess these aren’t always in Engineering schools) might pay better. Other than that, nothing I can think of. What sorts of degrees were you thinking might pay more?</p>
