Finally, i am back (again?) and now i am not going anywhere (i think!!!). To start with, here is a data from US Department of Labor website.This data gives a good information about earnings with respect to level of education in the field of engineering. I have no idea why they have not given any information about masters and Phds for some specialitites. Maybe they were too high to even list here!!

In these times of economic crisis, people tend to work for even less than they deserve, therefore its necessarry to know how much is your work worth!! I found another pretty good information about salaries of entry level engineers with respect to type of job one does. A little more research along with the information given by the list below can help you get a right price for your work. What really attracted my attention was the salary of an engineer with a BS degree and MBA from top 20 university, which was listed as a whooping US$71,000. You can check out the complete list at THIS LINK.
Below is the preview of this list
