<p>well i am just about finished with my MBA and MSEE,, i've been offered two jobs that start over 6 figures, 118000 and 102500,,,ive been offered to manage big projects with litttle or no management experience,, one of the jobs they wanted me to be one of ten managers for a powerline construction project in michigan, multi million dollar project,,,,,,,anyways im going to be doing allright,,plus i love putting other people in their place when they tell me how hard law school was or pharmacy school is tough, really? pharm school wow!!! thats impressive, my god!!! sign me up ,,oh yah and im only 25 years old</p>
<p>Congratulation!!!!!!!!
I am very happy to hear that.</p>
<p>I am a sophomore undergraduate Chemical Engineering student at Berkeley, I was getting a bit discourage because I heard from some ppl Chem Eng is one of the most hard undergrad major and and it often takes more than 4 years to finish it. </p>
<p>But I like Chemistry and something related to new technologies so I guess ChemE is still the best for me. I dont care how hard it is, i am just gonna try my best to graduate.</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing!
It really inspires me..</p>
<p>You are one of the rare cases. I am doing a little research on the big income jobs..Out of engineering, software and computer seems to pay rather well. I hope to make decent money as a lawyer :)</p>
<p>I think that's possible Dirt McGirt..it's also depend on where u live. Maybe he's living in a big city like in LA or NY or San Francisco Bay/Silicon Valley. The living cost is those city is freakin expensive. </p>
<p>I am living in Berkeley right now. the living cost is sooo expensive. I need to get a part time jobs and I even cant save any money :(</p>
<p>"all right im thinking about changing to the healthcare field because of conflicting information ive received about the engineering field..before all you nerds get defensive listen up and shut up,,, i already graduated in electrical and computer engineering with three minors,,, so dont think your so clever and smart,,, anytime someone tries to post any information that conflicts with your ideal thoughts of engineering ,,you tear them down and act all high and mighty,,, this is what i know............
1. typically longer hours, work until project is done,,, no overtime pay, thus your salary goes way down and isn't that impressive when you take this into account
2. localized to larger metro regions,
3. pay (exluding MBA) will be average middle class
4. corporate culture sucks, working for companies that constantly understaffs, overworks employees, cubicles, god i hate cubicles</p>
<p>what do you guys think of these "</p>
<p>I get the feeling that you are lying about everything dude.</p>
<p>no i assure you i was offered these jobs,,,,one interview was in rhode island and the other was in chicago,,,,although i did not take these jobs, they did offer them to me after interviews,,,but then again im great with people and have super interpersonal skills,,,,while you guys dont</p>
<p>I find it difficult to believe that a person with tdelf's alleged credentials would make such a childish original post. I honestly don't know anybody with those credentials who talks like that. Boasting, denegrating other professions and being stupid enough to mock companies that supposedly made offers. Oh yeah, and not too smart to identify yourself to anyone in that Michigan company who might read this.</p>
<p>The numbers may or may not be reasonable, but I think the source is definitely questionable.</p>
<p>I think it makes a sense for a person who hold MSEE and MBA to get salary over 100k..</p>
<p>Actually I dont know much about salary, but my older brother only has a BS degree in EE from Stanford Univ, but he already got like 60k in his 1st job ( he works in Silicon Valley).</p>
<p>so If he received MSEE and MBA degree from a top school,plus some great internship/experiences. I'll say tdelf words is still make a sense.</p>
<p>Most engineers don't make that much money first of all and certainly not in Rhode Island. The person who talked about corporate culture is absolutely correct. There is always an attempt to save money, understaff etc. Those engineers who are making big bucks, other than consultants who have to scrape around for jobs, are in management and end up with a shoe up their ass from their boss all the time. Being in management isn't engineering in the least - its bullying your people around to get them to do what they don't like. After a few years in management, most people don't even remember what engineering is! It is really disturbing how many people get sold on the lie about engineering being such a great field. Its a big lie just like the lie that there is such a big shortage of engineers that they have to hire them from India.</p>
