You college bashers have not seen the good side of college. Most science related jobs require an advanced degree. All of science is built on foundations established hundreds, or even thousands, of years ago. There is no Physics without Archimedes, there is no Math without Al Jabr, no Logic without Aristotle.

An BS in EE over here starts at $55k. That's not bad for a four year. A Master's in Chem. E starts at $65k, a PhD around $70k.
