GT brags most of their ME students get 60k out of the gate. i consider that damn good money for 22. i'm also thinking about going back for my masters in international business. my boss is 31 and i know his salary is over 100k. engineering management, for real.

i bet you $100 you dont make $60k out of the door. my school promoted $50-55k out the door and i started at $43k at my first job.

Sometimes you have to take the knowledge gained and think outside the box

Werd.

Do your research before believing the numbers the school throws at you. Find out what the majority of people are starting at, not the top 5%, cause you won't be in that group.

I know a dude that got a job right out of wyotech (in Wyoming) that scored a job in a Ferrari/Audi dealership in Florida (Tampa or Miami, I think)... He went the Audi track and had a great time in the school. I think he started at $27/hr.... something crazy like that....

That's why I didn't pay much attention in class, because I knew this was going to happen... but that's because I'm not in industry/civilian sector.

It's just part of the life of being a Soldier. Most of the stuff it OJT, or at the school within the Army.

I have a degree in Economics from a College, but the Army has formally taught me Civil Engineering, demolition, rocket science (well, orbital mechanics), and electronic warfare (kinda like EE).

I'm going to apply to get a masters in Space Operations, but I'll never use it either.... until I retire... good thing it's not going to cost anything!

The Army has been gooood to me

I work full time for the largest Ice company in the USA.

I go to college part time, 3 - 6 hours a semester. Just going for a Bachelors in Business, then figure out what I want to do from there.

Spare time, help everyone with their polishing, plating, and powder coating needs on the car forums.

~F~

I own a company.

I go to school at a private university in Illinois for Information Technology.

Yeah first to post that I work on a farm! $9 an hour is low but the hours aren't at $2200 a check durin busy times lmfao
