From a site...According to public statistics, aerospace engineers working for the U.S. federal government in 2002 made an average of $80K a year. That would include your NASA rocket scientists.

It is very hard to determine which type of engineers paid most. All engineers have equal chances to get good salary in job market. Thing is good branch can give u good starting but main emphasis is on percentage that u have maintained during ut college time If u are the best among others than it doesnt matter which branch or from which college yuo are,only important thing is knowledge yuo have.

There are CEO's that are paid well over $100,000,000 a year. Perhaps some that make much, much more.

The sky is the limit, it could be anywhere from $30,000 or more depending on what you are actually doing.  Some areas make more, but I would say even without experience I would expect at least $50,000 to be a starting average.  With experience it could easily be two to three times that amount.

More than what I could earn in a lifetime.

As is the case with many engineers, I have a degree in mechanical engineering but over my 35 year career I have done a lot of different things.\n\nI have done field construction involving concrete, structural steel, electrical, instrumentation, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, boilers, pumps, engines, turbines and electric generators.\n\nI have done project engineering on many projects from a few thousand dollars to millions of dollars. I have also does project management on projects up to $100,000,000.\n\nI have written specifications for equipment and projects. Designed equipment, systems and processes.\n\nI have worked in operating plants as a plant engineer and supervisor. I have also solved operating problems in plants involving equipment, systems and processes.\n\nI have have done cost estimates for small and large projects.\n\nI have been involved in safety and hazard analysis and reliability reviews.\n\nI have helped train new engineers and helped them as they developed their skills.\n\nIn all I have developed skills in just about all areas of engineering and along the way had a lot of fun and satisfaction. Oh, I also earned a ton of money along the way.

Not really. There are some internships if you want a job, but they are not going to listen to theories of just any random teenager who walks in the door. If you really do have a good theory, get it published in the appropriate scientific journal, like Nature or the Astrophysical Journal. Then NASA might pay some attention to it.

Normally employers will be looking for a degree level education, or extensive practical experiance. Your best bet is to speak to a careers advisor, they will be able to advise you of the best career, or industry to work in. As far as pay is concerned, good engineers earn very well. But I have yet to meet one who says they do it for the money. They do it because they enjoy their job. Better to be happy and well paid than rich and miserable !!

A game engineer makes approximately  $165,000 a year.\nThat is alot of money.The monthly payment depends on the hours the engineer works>

not for a long time. nasa doesn't have the funds to do any hugely major projects like it used to. it costs a lot to put stuff into space, and as far as mars is concerned, they're not about to launch

$80/hour may be a good rate for an American engineer depending on the field of expertise.  But it also depends on what other benefits are included, such as a living allowance, transportation allowance and round-trip airfare to and from the workplace (if it's out of the country).  If I was only paid $80/hour and nothing else, it would not be a good rate to me.

I think it is incredibly wise to spend money on space exploration for several reasons. The first reason is jobs. Thousands are employeed by NASA. These include scientists and engineers who design and conceptualize new means of travel, down to the workers who manufacture these new ships. Then the space program encourages those who study science and engineering. One element to judge a great society it the emphisis it places on technology. The Roman Empire was noted on its advancements in civil engineering and its growth of technology. Next examine the things we take for granted that developed from the space program. Think of the things we use everyday that were developed by Nasa engineers. Velcro and Microwaves come directly to mind and the personal computer was built on the foundations of NASA research. Then finally the most obvious reason is discovery. How do you put a pricetag on knowledge? The more we understand about the cosmos the more we understand about our own world.
