Anybody majoring in Engineering at this time is in for a rude shock upon graduation. I wouldn't recommend it.

what would you recommend? massage college? I hire computer engineers regularly, and starting salaries are $55K-$65K. I can't find enough PhDs at $150K and up. My last two hires are foreign nationals.

If you are an engineer you would know that a starting salary of 55K is a joke today. 55K is starvation wages. To go through all of the training to earn then earn so little is a truly a shock to me. I graduated in 1980 with a B.S.C.E. and thought my 28K starting salary was a joke. Starter homes cost about 80K in D.C. back then. You're telling me entry level Engineering pay is only 55K? Starter homes in D.C are now 400K. It is a joke, really....
