Did you not read the rest of the thread or do you just ignore what you don't like?

The correct answer is always the one you didn’t get

What about the posts after that where I provided data indicating salaries were from 110-130 which I said was accurate? Or do you just cherry pick for confirmation bias?


Read it all. Just pointing out you threw out the $75K-$115K, got called out, and immediately crawfished on that and upped your range

By 10% after some research. Sorry for actually using the correct numbers

If you're referring to payscale, do you think an unsoliciting, self-reporting website is really a good indicator? What do you think is the statistical significance of the data? Do you think highly compensated professionals are running to payscale/salary/glassdoor/indeed to self report their salary? So might there be sampling bias?

Is that what you mean by the statement that you "see salaries everyday"?

Chemical engineering and petroleum engineering are two of the higher paid sub-specialties.

Mechanical, electrical, civil, environmental are roughly 75K-115K

Can some potentially earn that amount?

Absolutely

Are the majority making this amount?

Far from it

Ditch college and become a YouTube/social media personality selling whatever it is you are good at.

FWIW OP, I think I'm about to go back and get a bachelor's in Radiological Science. Done a lot of research and it seems as practical and interesting as any

Once that's done, might look at a Master's a little further down the road

The first point that I made is that salary is industry and geographically influenced. If you're not quoting salaries from these company's "books" in the GOM region, then everything that is being argued is apples to oranges. I'm speaking specifically from the chemical processing industry with some experience in E&P. Summer engineer intern hourly basis is greater than 75K per annum. You mentioned Shell. Fresh out of undergrad, new-hire engineers at Shell Geismar start at >100K (some, maybe not all). I don't need you to acquiesce. I just want you to know that, in this region, your assessment of salary potential is way off.

Maybe a couple but not very many at all

Eta: let me rephrase, maybe all of those particular engineers, but they are hiring a very small amount of those engineers

Still the extreme end under many tight circumstances...

That's like saying police officers make $200k.
