Earnings
Earnings for engineers vary significantly by
specialty, industry, and education. Even so, as a group, engineers earn
some of the highest average starting salaries among those holding
bachelor's degrees.
According
the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for aerospace engineers was $116,500 in May 2019. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $72,450, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $166,620.
