<p>What are your guys' thoughts on this major? My mom has been urging me to look into it (at my school, it's a 4 year program, not 2 years like some tech schools). Apparently you can start out making $60k a year, but I'm still leaning towards doing English or Business instead.</p>
<p>Depending on where you live. In Wisconsin you can start at anywhere between $25-30 per hour, and that’s graduating with an Associate Degree that is accredited, it has to be Accredited.</p>
<p>for repetitive work like that you’ll be starting with that, but with less room for improvement. also, it’s pretty narrow, and may not help you if you don’t find a job specified by the degree.</p>
<p>instead i’d look into more versatile and creative work like electrical engineering or chemistry, where you could be making over 100k later on but you’ll start with a lower wage. these degrees also don’t force you to do only 1 thing: electrical engineers can work on computer hardware, telecom, radar, medical equipment, industrial instrumentation and controls, toys, management, marketing, power, etc. chemists can work on pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals and chemical precursors, oil/gas, environment, biotech, hospital, marketing, management, etc. however with a diagnostic sonography degree the only thing you can do is diagnostic sonography.</p>
