Bling bling, if you can get hired.
not if you consider $50,000 bling bling... my coworkers that recently signed with my company got paid starting $50,000... so i figure it can range from $45,000 to $55,000. that's a realistic range.
Are you single? 50k for a young single person is bling bling in my book.

Why do you say that? I'm just an undergrad but I have no trouble finding an EE related job or internship
internship is another story, they don't have to worry about benefits (i.e. vaction pay, 401k, insurance) if you are an intern. ee jobs are closely related to the chip sector and you know chip manufacturers aren't doing well these days, naturally they don't need that many entry-level fresh out of college ee people. a lot of people i know graduated (u of michigan) with good gpa and internship experience in ee last year are still looking for jobs 8 months later!
Well then what is a good field? I've heard that bio tech is the future and Chemistry interests me as well but I like to stick more closely with computers and electronics. My brother graduated recently his major being CS and now he works testing games for 9 bucks an hour
There's gonna be a huge increase in demand of biomedical engineers in the next 10 years. Plus, it's a cool field and you really have a chance to improve the quality of life for people.

well you have to think of the money you get after taxes and all the other stuff they pull out of your monthly salary. so basically:
50k/12=$4166.67
thinking conservatively (if you're single, you'll get about 30% from tax/401k stuff)
$4166.67*.3=$2916.67*12=$35,000. i don't think that 35k is that much... can't even buy a bmw m3 with that.
that's my thinking and also you have to take into consideration where you live. i live in LA, CA so $35k isn't all that much... but if you live in wyoming... then it's worth a lot more.

It ranges for bachelors from 50000 to 70000 depending on location. Usually they give you more in Silicon Valley to offset the cost of living.

ya do what u want to do, i am and EE major, but i see it all the time, many of my class mates hate the major and are doing it strictly for the job/pay it will bring them. its sad to see people studying something strictly for these reasons.
