Civil Engineers--Starting Salaries??

[starbright]

<p>

^^lol how bout providing government statistics instead of those from one college?</p>

<p>Look on the bls.gov site, civil engineers are paid the least.</p>

<p>Want to argue with the government?

</p>

<p>To answer your question: Yes, frequently. And as a university professor and researcher, I would trust this data over the govt data. </p>

<p>But what the heck, I took your advice, and again you are wrong. Civil engineers are not at all the lowest paid according to the govt either.</p>

<p>You might want to actually READ the data before attacking the source. Or perhaps you are confusing “average starting salary” located on the link above, with “median salary” which is what i was focused upon in both data sets.</p>
