Do engineers involved in manufacturing make very much?
Where are the biggest money makers for mechanical engineers?
Do some googling. Industrial engineers are pretty in demand in the US. As an entry level process engineer you'll make 60-70k and while you're on the line for a decent amount of annoying day to day or weekly bullshit, you'll get a lot of experience and be able to leave that behind when you move up. Big companies like Ford or Dow tend to be compartmentalized and while you'll get sweet perks and cash, you'll get less experienced than at a smaller place like an auto supplier where you have to wear a lot of hats and get responsibility from the get go.
Try to be a process engineer for a tier 1 or tier 2 auto supplier for mechanical.

tier 2 pays garbage.
work at a tier 1 plant and our production engineers start off at like 40-50k.
I've heard one got started at 37k.

Just depends I guess, there are a lot of companies where you'll get shafted. I started at a specialty tier 2 and got 65k + 7.5k moving bonus out of college

Really?
Most internships pay that much (40k)
