It’s closer to 12k, with petroleum being the highest and environmental being the lowest.



Be careful with the above stats. It may not represent the market. It does not make sense when starting salary for petroleum with a BS is 60,718 and with an MS is 57,000.

I have the impression that Bureau of Labor Statistics did not do a good job. Some job descriptions are obsolete.
