I have a four year MET degree. My starting salary in 2002 was 42k. I am now making 55k. I have also completed my masters degree since, but that has not contributed to my salary increase at all (although changing employers has).
If I were you, unless you have no personality and you have book smarts, I would stay clear of engineering. If you have any resemblence of a personality, but you don't drink heavily, then you will be unhappy in engineering. If you drink heavily, you won't care what you do during the day, so you'll be fine.
Both of my jobs so far have been in the auto industry.
Yeah. ENgineering in general kind of blows... to do this job, you really have to like it, or you'll be sad everyday when you get home.
It's sad, but I agree. I'm beginning to feel the same way.
Well, i am a coop student, but it is something I noticed when dealing with other students and dealing with actual workers.
I hated my first coop, and when i got home, i just wanted to take a nap. On my current coop, when i get home, even when I stay late, I always have a smile.
