Who would make more straight out of college?

Question

an architect or a structural engineer

Answer 1

Structural Engineer.

While some architect's make extravagant salaries, most toil away in meaningless positions re-arranging cubes. The idea of becoming an architect and designing a skyscraper is about as reachable as a kid in the schoolyard yearning to be in the NBA. Most architects work for firms and do mundane things like laying out stores or office spaces.
