One has to realize that a starting salary is for an essentially inexperienced person that will have to be guided for a few years.

Some will develop faster than others, and will not remain on a starting salary very long.

The problem that I’ve seen in engineering in general is that 80 % are not likely to advance significantly, since it is really just another “service” job.

I’ve got a pile of resumes from people stuck in that reality.

Finance includes corporate finance, treasury and capital structure, forecasting, planning and analysis, M&A valuation and transaction financing, securities valuation, investment banking, etc.

Accountants keep the books, produce the audited financial statements and do SEC reporting for public companies.

My BS and MBA is in finance. I had to take a lot of accounting for my degrees.

The only trouble with studying engineering is you might end up having to spend your life as an engineer.

It is hard being trained to think logically and being solution's oriented individual in a f-ed political world full of charlatans and slackers.

You’ve got that right.
