Starting Salaries Up

by Flexo on August 17, 2005

in Career and Work, Salaries

Starting salaries for recent graduates have gone up in the past year. Various engineering fields are at the top of the list.

The starting salary for my current field, accounting, is up 6.1% at 43,003. Teaching, my previous occupation and the field for which I originally spent many years in education, is up 0.9% at $30,793.

My father’s field, evironmental engineering, is likely closely matched to industrial engineering. The starting salary for that major is up 7.7% to $49,567.

    woohoo! my discipline came in first! I don't know why I am so ecstatic though since I have nothing to do with chem. e. anymore. I guess this is a good sign overall for the economy.
