editor Jeanne Sahadi, in a February 14th release, displayed National
Association of Colleges and Employers projections about hiring and salaries for
2007 college graduates. Employers have said that they expect to hire 17.4%
more college grads in 2007 than they did last year, and in many instances they
plan to pay them more, too. The students faring the best are marketing and
business administration majors: marketing starting salaries will be up 14% from
last year, at $41,323; and business administration majors are seeing a 9.2%
jump to $43,523 in starting salaries. Just behind are several technical fields:
mechanical engineering up 7.7% to $54,587; chemical engineering up 7.4%
to $60,054; management information systems up 5.5% to $46,568; civil
engineering up 4.8% to $47,145; electrical engineering up 3.2% to $54,599;
computer science up 2% to $51,070; and accounting up 1.7% to $46,508. By
comparison, liberal arts graduates (including psychology, political science,
history, English) will see a 1.1% decline in starting salaries, down to
$30,502.” UPCOMING EVENTS [back to top] Finals Week… Mon Mar 19–Fri Mar 23:
