Does majoring in engineering justify taking out more college loans?

<p>Sigh… Again with the naive statements on average salaries. Just a friendly reminder; average salaries are also dependent upon where one works. The problem with national averages is that they just don’t work. I’m employed in Silicon Valley so my earnings are substantially more than my counterparts who work at Texas. However, that also means that the unemployment rate here is peaking between 14-12%. </p>

<p>To get an idea for the nature of the profession (Again, this is just an example):

Food for thought.</p>
