I believe that the industry average is about 45-55k the first year, and over 100k after about 3 years. But this can vary greatly, and most of that industry is relient on how good you are at it. There are also high failure rates, and of course you need to be able to fund your life during the first few months. Very few companies have salaries for such a position, and if so it is marginal at best.

It depends on your qualifications, they will look at your units, etc. You can ask HR for the break down, they should have one showing qualifications and pay scale.\n\nYou are making me homesick, I'm originally from the south bay area ("Silicon Valley).

It varies and depends on the experiences and skills sets. \n\nUnder 5 years of experience you may 50,000 - 55,000\nOver 5 years of experience, you can get 60,000 - 70,000\nOver 10 years of experience, you can demand 80,000 to 90,000\n\nHowever i advise you visit professional websites such as dice.com to get a better answer.

depends on what your employer is willing to pay you.  MSCE certs are valuable to you as an engineer.  Salaries can range from $90----150,0000 depending on where you live and whom you work for.

The range of 60-90K sounds about right.\n\nThere are a number of things that you can do to get on the upper side of this range - the first one is to get a second specialty.\n\nFor instance, if you go into software engineering, take some advanced mathematics courses that will not be taken by your peers. By distinguishing yourself, you will be making yourself more valuable.\n\nThe second point is to do more than is expected, and take on the tasks that nobody else wants to take on. You can build a reputation as a "can do" engineer very quickly - and it will be noticed.\n\nSalaries of 200K are not at all out of line for a "can do" type with about 15 years of experience.

You need to make at least, bare minimum of $50k if you are to live in the bay area. But if you are living more inland and northern, you can do okay on $35k. Anything more southern add 10k for bare minimum living.

As with any field, how much money there is to be made depends on the supply and demand. There are many sub-fields in computer engineering from database management to embedded systems design. And then there are specialists and general engineers. Specialists generally get paid more, but have a more difficult time finding employment. General engineers have more that they can get hired for, but there are more of them, so the competition for jobs can be great. \nAnd then you get into marketing, that is marketing yourself. If you want to see the effect of marketing on your potential as a "computer geek", just look at the list of richest people in the world, and see who is at the top of the list. \nWhat I would recommend would be to look at what sub-field of computer engineering you enjoy the most, and are best at, and see how others in that field have fared. Learn from their mistakes and try new approaches to acheive success. In a free market economy, there is always potential, for success and for failure. Both can be educational.

For network engineering, I don't remember what it is called, but you want to get the Cisco certification.  At the highest level their certification is practically a Ph.D. and people with that or the mid-level cert. are in high demand and, with 5-10 years work experience can make over $100K in the US.\n\nOne thing to keep in mind, develop in yourself, and leverage as much as you can is that general business competencies are becoming more and more important to people who want great IT careers.  You have to be able to communicate, understand financial statements, manage a budget, do project management, sit down at the table with senior leadership to justify and make a business case for the massive new investment you think needs to be made, manage a vendor, negotiate contracts, coach and mentor employees, and most importantly understand the BUSINESS your company is in as much as you understand the technology that facilitates the business.\n\nThe more you can develop your "business" acumen in addition to your bits and bytes acumen, the more successful you will be.

My son is a chemical engineer. Starting salaries right now average $55K right out of college with no experience. With internships and co-op experience, that range goes up. Chemical engineers are in demand, so you're bound to find work.\n\nThe only catch is WHERE the chemical manufacturing companies are located. They tend to not be located in the hip cities that census statistics show are preferred by today's graduates. However, if you like math and science, the work is usually satisfying.

Electrical and chemical make the most, civil tends to make the least. It's high 40s/low 50s per year to start here in Dallas TX (US) for EE and computer science, not sure about other regions. In my company non-management tops out at just over 6 figures. Expect to give up your life for the high paying jobs, otherwise it's a good market. I recommend learning many different technologies and products - layoffs and outsourcing are common. Being a jack of all trades limits your risk. Learn how to network - Dilbert type engineers are the easiest to outsource.\n\nJohn

A lot of companies look for data analysts, so if you can get a Math/Statistics degree and a little programming experience, you shouldn't have too much trouble getting a job.  The actuarial field is another way to go, but it's a helluva lot of work.  There are several exams you have to take over your life time, and the first one is a 4 hour long advanced probability/calculus test.  It does pay extremely well though - it's quite possible to have a salary of six figures after 5 years.  Or, if you can swallow taking a few business classes (or, better yet, get a minor in it), you'll have Upper Management written all over you.  Most companies jump on folks with math degrees if you can prove that you also have some people skills.
