Check out the career of engineering: Occupational Handbook http://www.bls.gov/ooh/architecture-and-engineering/home.htm Architecture and Engineering Occupations PRINTER-FRIENDLY EN ESPAÑOL Employment of architecture and engineering occupations is projected to grow 3 percent from 2014 to 2024, adding about 67,200 new jobs. The growth rate is slower than the average for all occupations, in part, because several drafting and technician occupations in the group are projected to decline from 2014 to 2024 as improvements in technology, such as design software and surveying equipment, make workers more productive. The median annual wage for architecture and engineering occupations was $76,870 in May 2015. The median annual wages for all occupations in this group was higher than the median annual wage for all occupations in the economy, which was $36,200.
