<p>I know Rose has one of the highest reputations in the engineering job force. I was just wondering how it compares to schools like Carnegie Mellon, Cornell Engineering, and the University of Michigan. Does anyone have average starting salaries for engineerings for all of these schools? I know Rose's is about 56k??</p>
<p>my niece's hubby went to Rose and started out at 78k... so it is just where you end up working</p>
<p>Average salary is a good general indicator, but is by no means a guarantor of success. It's much more dependent on your achievement in college and your personal skill set, including your technical and communicative skills. Basically it boils down to how much you apply yourself in school.</p>
<p>56k was the average salary for last year.</p>
