I thought I was the shite when I left college with a MS in civil engineering in 2006. Then I saw my first paycheck. But you move up quickly in STEM fields.

I don't mind sharing my income. I'm not a OT baller. I'm an engineer.

It's most "relevant" when Alabama is beating Auburn in football and it becomes backup ammunition for aubs

Kinda hard to say this in a thread started by an Alabama fan

They will pay whatever you ask.
Just graduate and have that degree.
Math is your strong point.
Learn that and you will do well.
Don't worry so much.

Don't tell anyone but it's much closer to 5k than 500k.

I entered the field at a bad time. Right before the bust in 2008. I've rebounded. But in a field with a lower ceiling. But I will try my hand in oil and gas again.

You can be happy with $50k per year and miserable with $100k per year. I worked a job through high school and will graduate with a double major and a MBA in under 5 years of school. I'm not promoting some lazy arse entitlement ideology.
I'm just saying that people put too much focus on their salary and the salaries of others. A salary doesn't determine your happiness or your value as a person. There are millionaires who deserve far less respect than every day blue collar workers.

This is true. Two ex wives drive a man to extremes.

Alabama has a ton of communications, education and social work type graduates that do work somebody has to do and knowingly do it for less money.
So, that's going to drag down any overall salary number. I'm fine with that.
Also, you've been in multiple threads bragging about being an accountant for a major corporation. This is not an accomplishment. Auburn CPAs have a 96% hire rate among the Big 4 and nobody who has a real job from either school gives a shite.

Why is that funny?
Auburn has a large engineering/architectural/etc program. It's very good and those are high paying jobs. Alabama has more communications and social service kids. The difference in those salaries is huge. We're the state flagship. We have had these necessary but poor paying areas of study for forever and always will because the state needs people to do them.
Do you think kids with logistics, accounting, health care management, nursing or teaching degrees from Alabama or Auburn make more money than their counterparts from the other school? It's about where the jobs the school creates are.

It's actually true. A lot of shite degrees as the flagship. But engineering is improving. And business is good as usual.

96% of Auburn graduates do not go work for the Big 4. At all.

Bragging? The last thing I'm doing is bragging. I'm saying a degree from either of our schools in what I do is good and gets you in the door in major public accounting. It does it's job.
And I don't work for a "major corporation".
My argument has always been both schools have awesome areas and the state should be happy that any kid in state can get a very good degree in almost any area of study they choose at Alabama or Auburn.

Are we just talking undergrad? Because I feel like the law school would offset our engineers that come out in the 60k's by a large margin.

I think that graphic is undergrad.
