Introduction: (Completed by MESTER A)

Have you ever asked yourself, “What does it take to become a teacher, doctor, computer programmer, or even a nurse?” “Which profession is more valuable than the other one for your future?” For example, a doctor has to study for a period of 8 years so that he can learn how to save yours or somebody else’s life. Likewise, the median number of months it takes to earn a bachelor's degree in education is 54 months. Having a degree has its advantages when it comes to job salaries, but some of these professionals are asking themselves why their salary is not even close to what an athlete gets paid annually.

Transition II: It is obvious that having a college education comes along with a lot of benefits, not only that, but work experience is important, too, and you can definitely see that in the engineering field, especially with their salaries. ( MESTER C completed)

I. A lot of factors come into play when it comes to salaries within the engineering field and the different job titles. (MESTER C Completed this Portion)

a. Some of the factors include an employee’s education level as well as their work experience within the industry.

i. An engineer with no supervisory experience can make around what a supervisor with supervisory experience makes annually based off of their education level

b. The salaries of each employee in the engineering field is gathered annually for review

i. This allows them to determine what the median salary is within the industry

1. They can also compare it to previous years as well to see the growth within the industry

ii. “The EWC has been gathering information about engineering compensation since 1953” (Byko, 2008).

1. They also do this to compare salaries and wages from all types of employers across the United States
