I’ve heard some bad crap about IE and how they actually don’t know anything. I might just major in computer science or some other engineering instead, but IE does sounds interesting. I have come up with the following question which I can’t find clear answers to:

Is it worth it then to major in it? How are the job prospects for IE in the near/distant future? What kind of jobs do IEs get after graduation and how much do they typically earn as a starting salary? Do salaries increase for IE’s very quickly?

Thanks in advance if you can answer some of these questions.
