Lucrative college degrees, CNN article on NACE’s latest quarterly salary survey of recent college graduates.
Once again Engineering is very well represented with average starting salaries for:
Chemical engineering: $56,335
Computer engineering: $53,651
Electrical engineering: $53,552
Mechanical engineering: $51,732
The article lists no other degrees with an average above $50,000. Engineering education continues to pay off well.

Engineering is a very lucrative college degree. This is great information. I work at Edmonds Community College in Lynnwood, WA. We offer some exciting and innovative engineering and materials science technology degrees and love to hear about this kind of data.
