<p>Whatever major Reggie Bush is pursuing!!! He, along with those like him, receive the highest paying jobs right out of college!!!!!! This, ofcourse, is always overlooked amongst all the arguments about whether engineering or Accounting, or whatever major receives the highest salary offers...how about $5 million a year, and a $2.5 million signing bonus? What major gives you that? Ask Reggie Bush! I'm sure it happens very rarely for an Ivy grad!!!</p>
<p>The Harvard QB won the Rams the game last weekend =P</p>
<p>Econ starts out low to mid $30,000 with the government, and you can move up fairly quickly to a solid salary. You can make six figures as a government Economist with an undergrad degree. Of course you will likely live around DC, where it isn't cheap to live at all.</p>

lol, Reggie is a poly sci major here, I think.</p>
<p>I know for sure that Matt Leinart is a Sociology major.</p>

Soccerguy, you need to come out here to LA. Fairfax County rent is nothing compared to what we've got to pay here!</p>
<p>Engineering majors. </p>
<p>We kick some booty when we get out.</p>
<p>OK
I THINK BIOCHEM IS THE MOST $$$ MAJOR YOU CAN MAKE IF YOU GO GRAD SCHOOL FOR 4 YRS AFTER
afte that, 70000/yr waitin for you, imaging big Fararri+hot girls. you cant resist that!</p>
<p>GO FOR BIOCHEM!</p>
<p>both engineerin and compsci are just "momentary" jobs.
when you are 50 -60 yrs old, when you getting old, you wont find any place to work except staying home play some little MP3.</p>
<p>go for BIo chem, you cant go wrong!~</p>
<p>dude, engineers design your bridges, your houses, your chairs, your windows, your everything.
its not like suddenly there are going to be none of them. Its a job with pretty dern good security.</p>
<p>And running out of Computer Science jobs? Uh ... no.</p>
<p>R U JOKIN DUDE?
let me tell you this, face the reality
Economics are good, but no more than 10,000/yr
if you want to be CEO of some large firms, you need to have yourself a BS degree.
wanna be an engineer? cool, but be ready to get layoff
wanna be a doctor? ready for 8 yrs in jail(no social life at all)</p>
<p>so just major BIO CHEM! then go pharmacy school. fast and lots of money tho, this is just my personal view</p>
<p>comp sci are getting much more competitive, and you wont find a job easily/ easier getting layoff</p>
<p>

<p>I don't think it'll be too long before a lot of that stuff can be designed by computers, if it hasn't already began. No need for an engineer if a computer can do it with a few simple key strokes by an ITT tech trained CAD designer.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Then you do not know CAD well.
CAD is not something that designs for you, it is a way to model your designs so you can put them under stress and strain with out building them. You can also see where they are flawed and change them from there. It still takes design knowlege, knowledge of your user and what the intended purpose of the item is, and the ability to read the output of the CAD simulation. It takes training. It is not something you pick up seeing it once. It takes time and learning to love CAD.
Engineers are also not layed off at the rate that this whole board belives. Out sourceing does happen, mostly for production though. Its cheeper over seas and it lets engineers continue to receive higer salaries. Some design is outsourced, which sucks. But so goes life. Since we are not graduating engineers at the rate we need to what do you expect a large IT company to do? hire a comunications major? No they will look for labor where they are graduating enough engineers a year to sustain the high tech market. If you havent noticed more and more of our world has electricty driving it. When you have that, you normally have a chip driving that.So you need an engineer. Hence a system which needs another engineer to make sure the system is integrated and works well. The more our world paradigm shifts to be one of techology the more engineers we need. </p>
<p>Ill save the rest of this soap box for a few other engineers. I know we have more out there.</p>
<p>engineers sux, no social life~</p>
<p>Although it seems that all engineers are boring people and have no social life, there are some exciting ones out there with a social life, like my cousin. He's the coolest engineer ever.</p>
<p>yeah right and your cousin has a glass gf (engineer major), so both of them can study together about how "love machine" been made of</p>
<p>I was about to leave this mess behind, but I feel I have to defend myself and those around me.
I am an engineer. And I have dated people who are not engineers. We have active social lives, people from other colleges even come over here for parties. I know of about 20 couples on campus right off the top of my head (and this is at a school of 300 people).
Every weekend I get off campus in some way. If its to boston, or something. There is always something going on and nothing is ever dull. We have a great time. Engineers are not the non social group people make them out to be. To be an engineer you have to work well in groups, so most of the time most engineers are very social people.</p>

<p>I'm not an engineer, but...</p>
<p>How about you work on your grammar skills first before attempting to make fun of a group of people?</p>
<p>I have a mechanical engineer friend who works for L3 by day, and smokes bong fulls of pot by night. Engineers have lives, yes, engineers have lives!!!</p>
<p>What about a 6 year PharmD program, followed by an MBA?
What kind of salary would that bring?</p>
<p>I truly am lost on what major/career path to take, but I do know that I like money- alot. I love it. Love making it. Love spending it.</p>

<hr>
<p>PharmD and an MBA would be a pretty good combination. The salary would probably be in excess of $150,000.</p>
<p>However, if I were you, I would consider that once you get your MBA that's probably the last degree you would get.</p>
<p>I plan on getting a MS Chemical Engineering degree to complement a PharmD. Essentially, both degrees allows you to participate in many departments within a pharmaceutical company (ie. research, development, manufacturing). An MBA would be icing on the cake.</p>
<p>Since with a PharmD you would be making more than $100,000, you don't have to rush to get an MBA.</p>
