Best majors for making money
I’m in pretty good shape it looks like…Certainly not a Petroleum Engineer from Princenton, but not bad either.
<EDIT>
That site is pretty cool and depressing all at once.
yayyy for Computer Science!
Maybe this will stop someone on here from getting a degree in fine arts
I’m trying to figure out what I want to get a degree in
I went to UB
$43,200 - Ave start
$79,600 - Ave mid career
The graphs above are for mid career pay. So figure 10+ years experience.
No shit it’s all engineering
Engineering is where it’s at, but it’s difficult and requires a huge time commitment to get through the homework and studying. Comp Sci is probably a step down in terms of difficulty and time commitment, but it’s still no walk in the park.
I think I want to teach college classes
I’m an advisor/guest lecturer right now for a class at UB and wouldn’t mind doing that full time some day.
I worked all the time, went to UB for mechanical engineering and built cars and snowmobiles in my spare time. Finished in 4 years with no issues and no dept. LoL how bad do you want it?
x2^^^, it can be done, but it can really suck, I spent a lot of time sleeping in Capen
I’d like to teach a few classes, nothing overly technical. Or do training in some facet as a side thing.
Don’t get me wrong, I worked part-time 20 hours per week or so, had a girlfriend, social life, partied a bit and worked on cars a bit. So it’s not like I had zero time for anything else.
Things are different now though. 40+ hours a week at work, a house and other big boy responsibilites. It’s not that it can’t be done, but it requires a significant time commitment for sure.

The best comp sci teachers I had were the ones with industry experience. :tup: Is Buckley still teaching at UB? Dude is the man, I really enjoyed his class. There was another guy that had worked in industry that came back to teach at UB, can’t remember his name, but he taught that intro to hardware type class where you first learn binary math and concepts for building low level hardware. He was also a really good teacher.
Anyone ever have Lee Gearhart for a manufacturing class?
Yeah^^ Awesome, and then as a Xmas present he let us take our final exam open book
Thats my old man. He teaches one class a semester just for something to do.
this says I am at 98% over my peers… I must have done something wrong because that is far from true.
Lol, I looked up Buff State and laughed.
Fuck my degree and that piece of shit school.
Or you could just go into industrial sales and smoke all of those without the debt.
seems pretty accurate to me…I’m about 4yrs into my career and smack dab between the “starting salary” and the “middle career salary”
This is exactly what I did. I did go to college prior but the $$ in electrical sales made me take a hard right on my career path.
