Ladies & Gentlemen, I would like to know the average starting salary of a business Ph.D. with a BS and MS in engineering. I need the salaries both in the industry and academia. Also, how are the job prospects for this degree. Is it better than those for a Ph.D. in Engineering in terms of money, flexibility of work etc. etc...... Thanx, MAt Johns

The starting salaries in academe vary by discipline. In general, I think you would find that the average 9-month (academic year) salary in most disciplines start at about $40,000. I don't think the BS and MS in Engineering are too important in determining the salary for teaching in most Business Schools. I'm not knowledgeable about the pay in Engineering, nor the working conditions, etc., so I can't comment on that part of your post. =============================================================================== | Robert C.

Thanx for the response. My question was for Ph.D. in Operations Manage- ment and MIS. What are the salaries for these people in the industy and academia ? What are the future job prospects in industry and academia, (say 3-4 years from now) ? Further, in the industry, what type of companies hire these people and how are the projected job prospects in the industry as compared with universities ? Further, which are the *HOT* areas of specialization in OM and MIS ? Thanx again and I appreciate your response.
