Are these degrees really considered dumping grounds,as even though the starting pay might be low, isit related to the future income earned by the graduates after working gaining few years of experience? Let's compare for e.g:
NUS Civil Engineering – $2,757 ($2,800)
Vs
NUS Architecture – $3,445 ($3,700)
The starting pay might be lower for
nus civil engineering but come a few years of experience for both, will the pay for
nus civil engineering be higher than
Nus architecture?
Kindly help me as I'm very stressed out from choose which degree to take, as I'm concerned in the stangancy in the income in engineering courses..
