Mechanical Engineering in Progress
In the future (2020)
Electrical, electronics, computer, mechanical, aerospace, bio medical, and chemical engineers all fall within the low to mid sixties bracket. Salary is only one piece of information to consider when deciding an engineering specialization; one must also consider the projected growth rate as well as the number of projected new jobs. There will be some jobs in 2020, but not enough to fulfill everyone.
