EE Times 2002 Salary Survey

According to the "EE Times 2002 Salary Survey," you're making better money today than you were a year ago. If you happen to still be employed, that is. $89,100 is the average salary for an electrical engineer this year - up from $82,900 last year. Less than a decade ago, in 1994, the figure was $59,800. For some reason, stock options have lost their attractiveness in the last year ;-). The average starting salary last year for new grads with a BS degree was just over $50k. Average household income for an EE with working spouse was $125,038. Man, I must be doing something wrong!

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
