Thats the only bad thing about being a recent college graduate. We have one guy that is working at a engineering job as an intern since he was like 17. Basically with a associates degree he can become a manager to earn about $50k. All they said he had to do was earn a degree and he will earn around $65k- $70k as a college graduate. But since most people don't start in this field that early there have been estimates of around $40k to $55k starting depending on the company. So the pay kind of sucks now but I heard once you take the FE exam and get the PE license then you make bank, just takes some time. One of my friends uncles is earning around $200k as a manager.

I heard most people go for the MBA to eventually develop there own engineering business or do consulting. One guy from Spark Engineering in Richmond says that people who get the MBA is going to the darkside of engineering haha. Im not sure what i'll end up doing. I know Cobra said he had some degree in business so who could easily get an MBA. Seems like alot of engineers are doing that now.
