  • Accounting is the most lucrative non-science/engineering degree

    The average starting salary ($43k) is even higher than Information Science and Civil Engineering. Yay!

    A friend of mine made the decision to do a degree in Chemical Engineering based on a table like that, even though he wasn't particularly interested in either chemistry or engineering. I sometimes wonder if his fondness for getting horrifically drunk will overcome the boredom of an uninteresting career.

                Well **** me- I have an interview for (bio)chemical engineering this Friday. I didn't even know how lucrative it was when I decided to go for it!

                        I started college as an EE. After 3 semesters I had taken 3 advanced physics classes and 3 advanced calculus classes and was completely burnt out. I switch to Computer Science.

                        I had a Calc professor who walked into class 5 minutes late everyday, did not say hello, did not even face the class. He would just throw his books down on the desk, pick up some chalk and start writing on the chalkboard and talking with his back to us for the entire class. When he filled up the board, he would erase everything and start over.

                        He had to grade his tests on a curve otherwise everyone would fail. I remember one test where a score of 22 earned you an 'A' !!

                            This is a bit misleading. What are the average salaries after, say, 20 years of employment?

                              Why do you assume the technical positions won't go up just as fast, if not faster?

                              You get hired doing a great job technically and work your way up the management chain. You end up doing a better job than the ****ers who study "business" as a BA and manage your local McDonalds.
