The type of industry that you work in is a big factor in determining starting salary, no matter what type of enginner you are. For example, Aerospace Companies hire not only aerospace and mechanical engineers, but also chemical process, materials & process, facilities, electrical, computer and environmental engineers. All are on the same pay schedule with respect to engineering rank and promotion.



Just curious, what do chemical engineers have to do with aerospace engineering?
