Engineering
salary cannot be measured based on one location only.
The highest-paid type of engineer is
dependent on which country one is considering. The engineering salary in Japan
may be different in Canada. One type of engineer may be paid lower in one
country but is paid higher in another country.

Engineering jobs can
range from entry levels to supervisory or managerial levels. Mechanical
engineering has been a good start for many engineers today. Aside from the good
pay and the demand in their services, mechanical engineering is a very flexible
field of engineering because of the skills and experiences most Mechanical
Engineers have or acquire over the years.
Candidates of
engineering universities should learn to weigh things with measurable data. It
is best practice to look at the career or industry a few years after college is
over.
