Technical
Careers are (still) in demand, and the Salaries Prove it
Students
who graduate with technical degrees or technical
certificates are typically offered the highest starting
salaries compared to students holding other degrees, according
to the latest New York Times Job Market (NYTJM) survey. Starting
salaries can be as high as $78,000 for a graduate technical
degree and $52,000 for an undergraduate technical degree,
according to the survey taken of 450 hiring managers in the
New York area. This starting range surpasses all other disciplines
studied, including law, liberal arts and non-technical master's
degrees.
If you didn't go
to college after high school, there is still a chance for you to do well in the technology industry. Technology education programs
love to make maximum use of the latest learning technologies.
Computer studies, and electrical and electronic engineering
particularly lend themselves to new forms of learning, and
there are a number of degrees offered on-line and by distance
learning techniques. Employers increasingly welcome these
degrees as an excellent way of combining learning with experience,
and making the most use of a technical education.
The
economic downturn of the technology sector has flattened out,
and the industry will start back up the slope in 2003, so
graduates are going to be in greater demand than ever before
within the next few years. Companies will need new ideas,
and graduates with lots of enthusiasm and energy.
Salaries
will be even more attractive as the industry competes for
the best, and starting bonuses will look more and more attractive
- just the time to make sure you are in the market!
