<p>From my undergraduate school, which publishes the average salaries of new graduates, the highest mean was always in Chem E. Petroleum E’s (a subset you can find at certain southern universities) will consistently fetch more than Chem E’s because PetE’s end up at oil companies. The Chem E’s that end up at the oil companies will make the highest starting salaries in general. There are occasionally a couple of ECE/Comp Sci majors from my undergrad school that had higher offers than the highest ChemE offer, but the average ChemE starting salaries were always the highest.</p>
