I'm in the same thing and I've heard more around 40-45k.

I go to UMBC (University of Maryland, Baltimore County).

Tuition is not that bad and we are ranked #1 for the Nations upcoming Universities.

Engineering is a great program to get into and companies like Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grummin hire us straight out of college.

IT department isn't that bad either. I don't really know about other majors though.

My estimate was just from what I've seen in our database of available jobs. I'll let you know for sure in about a year when I finish my degree. :B

As I've heard engineering is going downhill. Doctors, nurses and business majors (especially in accounting/finance) are in high demand right now. Also anything with techy stuff is needed as everything is shifting in that direction these days. I have no idea what graduating salary is from here but we're one of the best business programs in the U.S. and we have a really good co-op program which helps you get involved in a more professional workplace earlier, possibly even allowing a higher starting salary depending on the field and the company.

Yep, accepted almost exactly a year ago to Michigan Technological University. I'm thinking about going for a Computer Science/Physics double major. College is pretty cool.
