im gonna be doing systems design engineering next year hopefully (at waterloo). also known as industrial engineering at uoftoronto. from what i understand, its the arts/sci/business part of engineering. you work a lot with people, and a lot of systems eng people become project managers and such.
i went to the industrial eng presentation at ut last year, and starting salary, they make the most out of any engineer. plus highest girl %. i personally like it because it seems very dynamic.
Industrial Engineers do make lots of money, and i dont doubt they make the most. They specialize optimizing a process whether it with machinary or human. They are highly sought after because they have the ability to be good managers.
As for the question, pretty much all engineering make alot. It just so happens that CompE is very valuable right now, but that may change in the future. Dont make money a factor. If you cannot be enthusiastic about the engineeringyou are in, you will not be able to captilize on thevalue of the degree because no one will hire you. Really, if you want a job where you are sure to makes lots of money, become an actuary or an accountant.
