I've been out of school for 10 years now and it look like starting salaries for ME's are up about 25% from the time I graduated. Not too shabby. Thankfully, I've stayed well ahead of that.

RE: Good Time to be an Engineering Grad
In addition, I read some where that engineering is the hardest major in college. Because of this, there are less candidates qualified and have enough interest to take it. I am not for dumbing down the degree, but for creating more interest for the field in our high schools. My current company does that by supporting our local high school in robot competition and also creating ways to make math more fun.

Wow... someone is getting screwed...
My first job was for about 20% lower than Stressguy's 10 year old national avg, but between 1996 and now, i've increased my salary 300%. Sometimes it's worth it to take the lower paying job out of school... if it cay pay off divs in the long run...
