<p>here are two more salary surveys.
Note that the spread between BS and MS candidates are narrowing. </p>

<p>it appears that for these two engineering colleges, that either BS candidates is good enough for the intended employment or that the MS is too much for the job or that there are too many MS candidates. </p>

<p>it also appears that a BS grad with 2-3% raises for 2 years would equal or surpass a average salary of a freshly minted MS grad hire</p>
