Mechanical engineer salary in USA 

An engineer, who is a newbie, might start at $70,000, working for a non-internet company in a relatively low-cost state like Arizona. If they were working for a high-tech company or working in a high-cost area, it would be higher than $70,000. 


An experienced engineer, with 10 yrs of experience, again working in Arizona, could easily be over $100,000.After that, the salary would not go up very fast after about the ten-year point.


Based on experience :

  • 1-3  years = $ 70,000-$75,000 annually
  • 5-10 years = $ 100,000-300,000 annually

High paying sectors for mechanical engineers:

  • Oil and petroleum
  • Power generation
  • Steel and aluminum
  • Automobile                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

For students

If you are reading this article, you must probably be a student who is deciding his / her career. Many students while selecting their career often decide their career on the basis of the average salary a profession offers. However, this type of decision is very wrong. Instead one must opt for the profession in which he/she finds interest in.

No matter whether the profession you have chosen is not as popular, or is not in trend you would always excel and continue to progress if you love what you will be doing. Even if initially you aren’t earning much, but with your talent and interest, very soon the sky would be the limit.


(Note: If you have an interest in what you are doing and desire to learn new things and love what you are doing, you could earn way more than you could’ve imagined.)
