we hire civils mostly... http://engr.oregonstate.edu/students/jobs.html 43k
we get the best, we pay more than most and have good benefits...
income has become stagnent, actually decreasing or flat since 2000...
a more recent one: http://www.doe.mtu.edu/news/degree_worth.html
civil avg 46k
around here it's good money, we have a stack of resumes...the cost of living is low...a nice house can be had for 100-150k, a great one for 250k |
Location is everything.
I'm a Sr. Software Systems Engineer in California and make double of what that civil avg was that you listed. But being in California doesn't make it easy for house pricing. I WISH a great house out here would cost 250k. but realistically its a decent 1bed condo for that price. A great house 1 mil+.
