Gordies CRF pack vote + random engineer talk

[enzopersson]

My brother has been going ot college for electro-mechanical engineering. He only went through one year though before he got a job. (50,000 a year.)

Thats not mutch, atleast in sweden, but i guess u can buy pretty mutch up in usa, a t-shirt costs like 4 time more here in sweden.

here u can get 40.000 swedish (kronor) in a month, 7 (kronor) in sweden is 1 dollar in usa, you do the math.

[Voutare]

Eh. That converted to USD is 68,571.42.


That's starting pay. To get $50,000 after one year of college is pretty damn good, and once he graduates from the Apprenticeship, (4 years), he's guaranteed a job, and his pay may go up towards around $65-70,000.

Average pay for the US is about $30,000 a year. I'd say that's pretty good pay.

yeah, im actually looking at getting into engineering after i finish high school myself, actually.
anyways, how did a topic about DJ hating on my replication turn into one about engineering? lol

Don't know, but I'll be starting my second sem in getting a mechanical engineering deg. No Idea there were so many engineers on here!

[Pumaxcs]

i didnt even no there were so many old people on here... im going to be a freashmen but ehh small world i got a class that introduction to engineering

[DJ99X]

I'm only 19 (well a month from it). But yeah, good to see there are so many engineers (or people thinking about it, or related to one).

[moorin]

no offence dj but the way to talk on here i thought you was a lot older im 18 and im going into my second year of being an apprentice mechanical engineer at a powerstation in england, when i come out of my time in 3 years i will be on £39,000 so if the exchange rate is good thats near enough $78,000.

[DJ99X]

Man, $78000 would be pretty sweet for a 21 year old. Hope I can get that much when I get out of uni.

Interesting to see so many engineering prospects. I just finished a five year degree at a university to get my bachelors of science in mechanical engineering. Jobs are seeming to want to pay between $50,000 and $60,000 for entry level ME's these days. The last job I interviewed for was offering between $55,000 and $65,000 depending on experience. Engineering is definitely a good way to go in life, as they are always needed. Good luck to the lot of you still in college or getting ready to begin college.

[yomo]

wow there is alot of engineers... im almost 17 but will be applying for engineering next year to start in 2010 . Probably chemical engineering or structural

[Scummy]

money just makes problems...

[Voutare]

I want to me an astronaut.

[moorin]

wow a lot of engineers here i had no idea how many people are or want to be engineers. anyone make or machine bits for bikes, cars, random things?

[Voutare]

My brother will be machining aircraft engine blades.

[Pumaxcs]

i want to be an egenineer if they get $50k first year outta college

[ddmx]

Not doing it for the money, although 50+ a year starting off is nice, doing it for the love of it.
