wheres mechanical engineering dammit!? should be similiar to the other 2 though.

psychology, now thats a winner.

I would think both finance and mech. engineering would be off the charts on that list. Finance especially. My cousin got a job after she graduated college (Notre Dame) doing something in finance in New york for just under $100k/year...starting. Now she makes more money than god.

When I started in on my computer engineering degree, the avg starting salary was almost $60k. It was just a little higher than electrical (the two majors are very close in material). Now that I've graduated I don't like to see that those figures have gone down. Oh yeah, that reminds me... I need to find a job :D
