according to yahoo. a couple i'd never have guessed. Careers That Are Built To Last - Yahoo! Education

Good grief those Yahoo articles are so shitty. This is the same thing they do over and over and over and over again. Just slap a different title on this mess and you have met your writing deadline for the next 2 months, this article can become: College Degrees to Earn $50,000 Best College Degrees for Employment Top 10 College Degrees for Job Hunters Careers With Good Employment Outlook College Choices For People Who Want a Career What Does a Degree in Professional Indinignation Studies Get You? Nothing! Try These Choices Instead. I'm applying for a "writing" job at Yahoo.
They wouldn't hire you. You make too much sense (as if that's possible) and would probably do the job right...they can't handle that. Honestly, I'm really surprised at how quickly the quality of the articles have declined. I pretty much glance over the articles and then check out the funny comments. lol
Of course - that is the best part. The worst part is dealing with the red tape involved. If anyone wants a list of US universities offering degrees in the subject (including DL) send me a PM. Interestingly many current students are women. This industry is booming :smile:
I heard from a neighbor a few days ago that graduate mining engineers from the Colorado School of Mines were being offered starting salaries up to $250,000. That sounds hard to believe and I could not find any verification on line. However I did find that the starting salaries for mining engineering bachelor degree graduates is >$60,000
The demand for mining and petroleum engineers is characterized by boom-and-bust cycles. There can be intense demand and high salaries in some years, and mass layoffs and unemployment in others. Another factor to consider is that many of the high-paying jobs for mining or petroleum engineers involve work in remote areas, often in Third World countries, far from family and home, for long periods of time. If you have to spend most of the year at a mine in the mountains of Bolivia, or on an oil platform off the coast of Nigeria, you can expect unusually high compensation.
