[QUOTE=alissaroot]Here's an article about which majors pay well by average salary:
Top 10 Paying College Majors -- Education-Portal.com
While Chem engineers make a good salary, manufacturing is going overseas + H-1B's are taking some of those same jobs. Many of these students are stuck w/high student debt. Our Sunoco process engineers said jobs were stagnant for awhile, when the margins increased, more trainees were brought in. As the margins decrease, some will probably be let go. As for Dept of Labor website, while they can be a predictor of future jobs, it is not totally accurate due to unforseen market conditions. For example, students flocked to Law School dreaming of making big $$$, not to mention the financial sector. Now, law students are looking at paying off huge student loans and an uncertain job market for quite a number of years.
The below goes slightly off topic so you have been warned.
