<p>How difficult is it to get a first job with a mechanical engineering degree and what are entry level wages like? Can you live comfortably with this wage?</p>
<p>Lemme’ pull out my Duke TIP magazine, it’s got the starting salaries for different engineering degrees… One moment(:</p>
<p>Average starting salaries for mechanical engineers by degree:
Bachelor’s- $59,222
Master’s- $66,961
Doctorate- $75,186</p>
<p>That’s about as much as I can help here, sorry.</p>
