Most lucrative college degrees

I'm a ChemE, and yes the money is good.......if you can find a job! I'm lucky to be where I'm at, but decent ChemE jobs are hard to find, especially in a good location.

Not me. Those jobs dont make enough money to make me want to go back. I'll keep my job, pays better than them anyway!

Im an OE (ocean engineer) and ever since the oil bubble burst its been tougher for recent grads to find jobs because the oil industry was a big employer. OE isnt on the list but for those of us who did find jobs Id say it would be number 6 or 7.

Chem, petroleum, and electrical are some of the toughest engineering majors in my opinion which is why they have higher salaries but theyre also specialized. I wouldnt be surprised if new petro engineers were having a hard time getting work right now. Most other engineering majors like aerospace, mechanical, and systems are more general.
