<p>is it a good idea?</p>
<p>ive heard from friends that some double majors dont get paid more than just one major</p>
<p>so i was wondering does EE and ME double major graduates get paid more? </p>
<p>also i am planning to get masters, so if i graduate with this double major which major should i try masters for?</p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>If you’re double majoring just to get paid more, don’t do it.
Both degrees are valuable. I personally haven’t heard of anyone double majoring in EE and ME…</p>
<p>ok thx,
but is there any other major that i can double major with ME? for better salary?</p>
<p>No, a double major won’t get you a better salary.</p>
<p>I think you should see if you can cut it as a mechanical engineering student first, before attempting a double major. A lot of high school students talk casually about double-majoring in this and that without realizing how much work it requires.</p>
<p>Maybe do a double major in ME and AE? I’m not sure if you would get paid more, but it would probably be the quickest to get since the curriculum are so similar.</p>
<p>I think ME and EE are different enough that a double major would make sense, and it might open doors for you that wouldn’t be as open to people with just one or the other.</p>
<p>On the other hand, most jobs wouldn’t care if you had both, they would only want one. And it will freaking kill you to double major in EE and ME.</p>
<p>DS has BS in ME and HCI plus a MS in CS, which is in the application side of programming. It took him over a year to find a full time position and even then not an industry position but a support position with his undergrad professor. Salary is only at a BS level. </p>
<p>A ME and EE would be very difficult to accomplish in 5 years and would probably take 6 years to accomplish.</p>
<p>It would give you a much broader skill set, but I tend to think the amount of jobs that require a skillset that broad is quite small.</p>
<p>A BS in ME and MS in EE or vice versa would be a significantly better idea.</p>
