But I am almost deaf. I have a lot of trouble to understand people when they talk. I try to read lips, but it isn't enough fro me. My hearing problem is uncurable and hearing aids are helpless. Is chemical engineering, a field that requires a lot of talking(communication) thanks Hi,

Sun, 10 Sep 2006 00:37:21 +0000 http://www.freethedrones.com/blog/2006/07/23/whats-the-highest-paying-college-major/#comment-102 [...] We’ve looked at the highest paying college majors in the past, and whether you can really get a good job with any major. Today CNN has an article on the college degrees that are most likely to be marketable for the next ten years or so. Anne Fisher of CNNMoney suggests that the best degree options these days are in engineering - jobs in those fields are being generated faster than colleges can fill them up, and the shortage of skilled workers is starting to increase salaries - to the point that many of the top recent graduates from places like MIT are making six figures straight out of college. The average pay for engineers overall in the U.S. has hit $72,965 - a big bump over what they’d been making for the last few years. But it also makes a big difference what kind of engineering you go into - because demand for specific types of engineers varies. She points to several specific fields where they’re making a lot more money than usual - for one, chemical engineering.
