After becoming an engineer (and staying in the profession) you can earn anywhere between 35,000 to 150,000$+. Indeed some engineers at google get paid $250000+ at young age... Websites mentioned by Eva above are good ones to look at salaries in different fields..
That being said, money does not equal satisfaction/happiness. Research proves that beyond 75000, happiness does not increase with increase in salary.. something to think about...
thanks sir

You have several good responses so far. As noted there as a broad range of salaries, but when I was hiring graduates; engineers (Mechanicsl, Chemical and Electrical) in the chemical industry start at $55-$70,000. Higher pay comes with more responsibility. After a few years of experience, if you are in charge of a major project, manage people/department money you can almost double a basic engineering salary. Travel opportunities and the variety of work are also benefits. But remember......work hard and do a good job and your company will know your value and compensate you accordingly to make sure you don't leave. Good luck.
