<p>According to this poster, 1/3 students from Rose-Hulman (engineering school ranked 1st (tied with harvey-mudd) by UsNews for schools w/o grad programs) become multimillionaires. So its definitely possible.</p>
<p>160 multimillionaires per year from Rose-Hulman? The poster misunderstood some other number.</p>
<p>Easy with the attacks. Sure, I believe some of you do engineering because you love it but my observation is that most do it for the job opportunities. Thus, something would be amiss if salaries weren’t discussed.</p>
<p>Or are you just trying hard to convince yourself that you “love” engineering?</p>
<p>1 thing about salaries, tho, is to factor in the cost of living. It might surprise you to find that 100k in certain places in CA is equivalent to 50k in other places.</p>
<p>A successful engineer accumulating more than 1 million dollars over the course of a 25+ year career is certainly not unfathomable. I would say that with good investing, it should be relatively easy for someone making 100k/year to quickly build up a sizable wealth. And if you’re a successful entrepreneur, it’s very easy.</p>
