National Starting Salaries, 2011:
Every year, the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) publishes the average starting salaries for a wide variety of industries. With the closing of 2011, NACE has updated their salary averages.
The chart on the right shows these averages.
While some industries that Oregon Tech prepares students for (such as Renewable Energy, MIT, etc.) are not represented on this chart, a majority of the programs Oregon Tech offers are.
Tools such as the one provided by NACE, and websites such as CBSalary.com provide students and job seekers a chance to match their talents on a national scale, so that they can have an idea of what their personal brand may be worth when job searching.
Remember: these are national averages. Factors such as experience, education, and location of a job all dictate the salary for that position. For example, careers in cities with higher average costs of living may offer higher salaries to help offset the cost of living.
