Engineering covers a VERY broad array, from biomedical, communications, civil engineering, mechanical, electrical, chemical, etc etc. Salaries are based on the particular field, education, and experience. A Civil Engineer that is a Registered Professional Engineer (legal term) with a Master's degree, and 20 years experience may have an annual salary of $125,000 or more, depending on the location. However, your question is too broad for a simple answer. But the may is much better than having a degree in Art History.
On an average, these two engineering fields have the highest salary: Aerospace Engineering Chemical Engineering
Structural.
Generally Chemical Engineers get paid the highest. Numerous sources out there.
Highest pay in the field of engineering, plus it's a fulfilling job.
$200K USD for senior chief maybe.
its probably in the field of medicine and engineering
Petroleum engineering has the highest pay but in the beginning it won't be so high; so as u'll gain experience the income will increase in some places Mechanical engineering has the highest pay too but most of it depends on the company u get into
Chemical Engineering pays the highest salaries coming out of University, but if one decides to do Industrial/Management Engineering and tries to get their MBA, they are seeing a six figure salary with ease.
I recall seeing average salary data on entry-level engineering positions. If I remember correctly, I think that an entry-level position in petroleum engineering paid the highest on average.
Its depends upon the person, actually better means the Engineering field you get more salary, right. you should have special and creative skills to be a better Engineer and ofcourse any engineering field, Engineers makes the world..
