Chemical and petroleum engineers are at $130,000 a year.
If by this statement you are suggesting that students enroll in an engineering major program at college, bear in mind what I read last year on FR.
Someone posted an observation by the head of a college's engineering department that maybe 15 percent of that university's students were capable of handling the mathematics and physics required to be successful in completing an engineering degree.
Keep that in mind when you make such recommendations. Not everyone can become an engineer, a physician, or an accountant.
