Michael’s Answer

Hi Ajith,

The job demand for mechanical engineers is always high. The benefit of a mechanical engineering degree is that it can be leveraged across many different fields. The pay will be based on the field you enter and the amount of experience you have. An example being the medical device field. The medical device field is highly regulated and very challenging, and therefore offers higher salaries.

I would suggest choosing a field that interests you and don't pick a field just for the money. It's much easier to go into work everyday if you enjoy what you do.

G. Mark’s Answer

The job demand for engineers has always been high simply because engineers are problem solvers, and there has never been a shortage of problems. As far as what the marketplace will pay to solve those problems, that is obviously variable. But in general, a mechanical engineer will always command a significant salary. A side benefit of being an engineer is that they will generally have a talent that is applicable to a wide range of jobs and not have to spend a huge amount on malpractice insurance or facilities and equipment to establish a practice.
