Yeah, i have a son finishing his first year of engineering at a top ten engineering school right now. He is putting himself through hell now with the expectation of big rewards later. It was a shock and an adjustment that he was doing homework for 6 or 7 hours a day. And some times praying for a C.
Our son copped a BS in Computer Science. He’s now VP of Engineering for his firm, making the tall dollar...
My son finished school last year witn an Engineering degree at a top ten school. Starting pay at his first job was over 100K, bonus the first year was just over half his salary and stock options will net over a million in two years.
Still not enough to buy a house in the SF Bay Area, after taxes.
Graduates of the maritime college in Maine, Ranked #1 public college in the USA by Money Magazine, with degrees in marine engineering (both hand-on work experience through training cruises and cadet shipping and rigorous course work) are starting out at about $10,000-$15,000 a month plus room and board. The room and board is tax free. They do earn the money-it is 12 hour days seven days a week with a month on, month off rotation.
