Yes but law school is a graduate school. And I'm not saying theres anything wrong with law. We all know that with a law degree, you make a lot of money. Thats why a lot of guys with tech undergrad degrees goes to law school and become patent lawyers later.
But seriously, there is nothing wrong with those fields. And being in those fields has nothing to do with going to grad school or not. You can go to grad school in comp engineering too. Average salary for a Comp engineering masters from a good school are in the 70-75k range too.

yes, in my first post i said all the more reason to go to grad school
well, I was pointing towards your all those fields sucks comment.
But yeah, grad school is good. I plan to go to grad school but I'm currently working with a bachelors. I think you should always go to grad school, although whether directly out of college or not is another question. I mean, if you can get a company to pay for grad school, then it works out well. and the 401k that you have invested when you got out of college can appreciate while you are in gradschool.
id say they are spot on. my brother graduated with BS in Biochemistry from UCLA a few years ago. currently working on a MBA, but he makes around ~$45k, so those numbers look good.
I have a BS in Business Admin with concentration in MIS, I guess I fall in two places on that list?
I'm doing Comp Eng right.. and well I guess this is a good thing ... although I'm sure things'll change by the time I actually get my degree in a couple years :S

No they arent, I can pull up ALOT jobs for programmers/software designers in the US for $45-50k. The question is, do people want to move or go into specific industries, and do they meet the job requirements.
As far as teachers go the pay is too low. I live in El Paso, one of the poorest cities in America, and teachers here start at $36,000 per year and that is with a low cost of living.

They need to show statistics of people who actually get jobs making the average. It took me just over a year to finally land a permanent position in IT after graduating with an IT degree. The average salary might as well be $90k if you can't get one of the jobs.

Good lord, those numbers are high. Where I live if I found job making $25,000 starting out I would take it. At least it a job. But $40-ish, damn. I know most of those jobs are in the cities where the cost of living is higher but still...

ChemE but I don't graduate until next year and if I get a job in Boston I probably won't make that much, but I do it for the love anyway.
I think that there is going to be a shift, with liberal arts degrees leading, and history, philosophy, classics, english lit, and even sociology at the top. LOL
I'm taking bets, it'll be true in 5 years max. Screw technology, don't be a slave to that sh!t, study your fellow humans and the dumbass things we do.

Well, I've been making 50 + ever since a year after graduating with a CS degree. Two of the other software developers and our network admin are all making about the same and they were hired straight out of school 2 years ago as well. This is in an area where the economy sucks and the average 3 bedroom house goes for about 160-170k.
since its the average, hard to say what the true distribution of the actually starting salaries are.

I think so. I'm pursuing my MS, but I still think it's somewhat of an indicator. Maybe they're a little padded. Anyone know or care to disclose what their starting salary in their field was?
My friend came out with his CS degree last year and a starting salary of $90k.
But I'm sure that's an exception.
I just read some stats from my school, and average starting was around $58k for 2003 graduates. Not bad for a CS degree.
Of course, I'm an applied mathematician, so I start with nothing with a B.S. Thank god for graduate school.
don't most people who make careers of psychology go to graduate school anyway?Originally posted by: CanOWorms

Kind of interesting. I'm a mix of EE/CompE so it's some good news I guess. How is it for you?
Must suck to be in psychology
