雅虎頭條刊載FORBES報道,在失業率高漲的當前,仍有一些專業難以雇傭到足夠的人才填補空缺。其中最緊缺的專業人才是工程師。工程本科畢業生的啟薪高達6位數字;頂級工程學校畢業生,如普林斯頓,斯坦福,加州理工的畢業生在畢業時有可能收到至少6份JOB OFFERS.
看來,工程專業不僅是華人高中生的優勢所在,而且大學畢業時還是薪水豐厚,需求強勁的專業。
原文節選:
Those who do become engineers find they're in a lucrative field that doesn't require as much schooling as say, being a doctor or a lawyer. Beginning engineers need only an undergraduate diploma--and with that they earn a starting salary of six figures. Those who attend one of the top engineering schools--Princeton, Stanford or Caltech--are likely to get at least six job offers when they leave school.
Of course, you have to be a stellar math and science student. To get admitted to a top-tier school, you need to take pre-calculus by your junior year in high school--not an easy feat for most teenagers.
A good point. Among engineering majors, which engineering majors are on higher demand and better paid? Some discussed BME, and others mentioned civil engineering,etc. Very strange, nobody has touched upon the popular major of EE.
