I know it is wrong to do it for the money. But it would be good to know how much you can get paid by doing the thing you like.

 

[seventhroot]

yes of course. I hope to do it


but CS and SE is opening up a lot and booming so I see it as a possibility

 

[astroman]

yes all engo's field have 6 figure salaries after a few years of employment, especially since computer related degrees will be in high demand in the near future

Why does UNSW teach C instead of Java.. o.o

C is so useless

UNSW teaches both. C and C++ is the main languages used anyways in CS and SE and pretty much all of engineering

You do realise it is possible to get a 6 figure salary with any degree right?

but I think OP is worried more about the employment prospects where it is very competitive

possible

yes

 

[turntaker]

possible


yes

Well a 6 figure salary is possible without even going to Uni, its not about the money anyway

What about arts degree

Definitely. I think a few current CEOs have arts degrees. No matter what industry you get into, it is possible to achieve a 6 figure salary. It's just about getting to the right companies with the right opportunities.

When it comes to getting promotions for a 6 figure salary your degree doesn't really mean anything. It's about how well you do your job. Your degree only helps you get a job in the first place.

This is very true indeed.

But if you take the average pay of each degree, they are not all 6 figure.

I ain't even mad

the key word is "average"

obviously some will be making more or less but it just depends on your circumstances

I don't think the average pay of ANY degree is 6 figure lol (except maybe Med?).

Yes, it is "possible" for anyone to get 6 figure salary. But for example, take an arts degree graduate, how many of them become CEOs and make 6figures,, probably only 1% where 99% get much less which drags down the average. I dont wanna draw a box and whisker plot but I hope you understand what I mean xD
