Most lucrative college degrees	美國2006年最有"錢途"的專業(yè)
The girl is in the graduation ceremony.  In survey of the Class of 2006, engineers still get top salary offers, but accounting and finance majors are climbing quickly. So far this academic year, college seniors in most majors are experiencing an increase in starting-salary offers, according to a quarterly survey published by the National Association of Colleges & Employers' (NACE). "By and large , the average salary increases employers offered to new college graduates were respectable, and some were standouts," Marilyn Mackes, executive director of NACE said in a statement. Topping the list of highest-paid majors were chemical engineers who fetched $55,900 on average, followed by electrical engineering degrees at $52,899. Despite taking a 0.3 percent dip compared to the 2004-2005 academic year, mechanical engineers took third place with an average salary of $50,672. The survey, which polled 83 different private and public schools across the country, revealed that computer science graduates might not get as much as they did in previous years, as offers fell slightly to $50,046. Accounting and economics or finance experienced the biggest growth, claiming the fifth and sixth spots, and rounding out the list, in order, were civil engineering, management and marketing. Liberal arts majors, which included both natural and social science majors such as history and english, finished last with a starting salary of $30,828, but experienced an increase of 6.1 percent compared to last year. NACE's newest survey, also noted that employers planned to hire 14.5 percent more college grads this year, compared to the 2004-2005 academic year. Terri LaMarco, the associate director of the University of Michigan's career center, said that NACE's forecast matches up with what she is seeing on campus so far this year. "Recruiting activity is up and job fair attendance (by employers) has certainly increased," said LaMarco.   (Agencies)	一份2006年畢業(yè)生調(diào)查報告顯示：工程學(xué)專業(yè)的畢業(yè)生薪水仍位居各專業(yè)之首，財會專業(yè)和金融專業(yè)薪水增長較快。 根據(jù)全國大學(xué)生與雇主協(xié)會（NACE）公布的季度調(diào)查顯示：今年大學(xué)多數(shù)專業(yè)的畢業(yè)生，起薪都有所增長。 NACE執(zhí)行理事瑪里琳·梅克絲在一份聲明中指出："總體來看，雇主給本屆大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的平均薪水都有所提高，有的增幅甚至很明顯。" 最有"錢途"的是化學(xué)工程專業(yè)，畢業(yè)生平均年薪55900美元。其次是電子工程專業(yè)，年薪為52899美元。機(jī)械工程專業(yè)畢業(yè)生的平均年薪為50672美元，雖然比2004-2005學(xué)年下降了0.3％，但仍位居第三。 這項調(diào)查涉及了全美83所私立和公立院校。報告顯示：計算機(jī)科學(xué)專業(yè)畢業(yè)生的起薪是50046美元，可能比往年有所下降，但降幅不大。 在各專業(yè)薪水排行榜上，財會專業(yè)和經(jīng)濟(jì)或金融專業(yè)的薪水增加幅度最大，分別位居第五名和第六名，其它專業(yè)依次是土木工程，管理和營銷。 排名最差的是文科專業(yè)，包括自然科學(xué)和社會科學(xué)，如歷史和英語，畢業(yè)生起薪為30828美元，但比去年增長6.1％。 NACE最新調(diào)查報告同時顯示，與2004-2005學(xué)年相比，雇主今年計劃招聘的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生人數(shù)增長了14.5%。 密歇根州立大學(xué)就業(yè)中心副主任特里·拉馬克說，截至目前，NACE的預(yù)測報告與他今年在校園內(nèi)所看到的情況基本一致。 拉馬克說："招聘活動增加，參加人才招聘會的雇主當(dāng)然也多起來了。" (中國日報網(wǎng)站編譯)
