Question

What do electrical engineers usually make to start off with and then down the line? Thanks.?

Answer 1

Obviously depends on a lot of things, but 40k to 80k is typical to start.  It probably levels off at about 100k.  I know several EE's that took just sightly different career paths (still electrical) and make close to 300k a year.

For the big bucks just do the following:

1. Work for a good company

2. Do something you like.

3. Work hard at it.

4. Don't be a jerk (being a jerk gets you to the mid-level faster, but no farther)
