We all know engineering is the best STEM field in which to make good and respectable money. However, which field of engineering is the most profitable?
>Do note, things like petroleum engineering are not stable occupations, as we'll soon run out of fossil fuels. Or, they'll be made illegal.
Bump
CS is very profitable also

A CS degree is meme tier. Pajeet is cheaper AND a better programmer

jobs salaries are a function of future events, which are pretty unpredictable. So it is near impossible to predict which fields will be most profitable.
I think a good piece of advice for becoming wealthy is

statistics
If you really only want money then actuarial work is the way to go. Fairly easy to get 200k-500k after 20 years and passing all the exams.
How respectable is chemical engineering? That's my major
>>8573875
Very respectable! I believe it's tied right below Petroleum E for pay with Aero

Aero is pretty based, anon, true.

Unless you're going to a top 10 uni you're best off sticking with electrical, Chem, mech, or civil. Those degrees are too specialized for undergrad

Well, I was at Exeter for my undergraduate physics degree and am working on applying to Cambridge to do engineering.
>>8573835
He said engineering
>>8573981
'Software engineering'.

cs isnt engineering
>>8573990
This is true.
computer/electrical engineering paired with a cs dual major

Holy fucking kek

>computer/electrical engineering paired with a cs dual major
I'm doing a combined dual computer engineering / computer science degree. How do I make money?
Hmm how are the chances with Biomedical engineering? Thats what im studying now, wanna see its worth it since i basically study both medicine and engineering, which is hell :D but love it
>>8576585
it's really competitive from what i've heard. you're very likely to not work as a biomedical engineer after you graduate.
>>8576590
Well thats a thing to look forward to.

CS != codemonkey
Or is this the case in American "education"?
