The $$ goes up if you get a master's....or......go into law school after you get a degree to make a lot of $$ (patents and stuff)
or go into buissiness open up your own firm......maybe do consulting, be a manager.
If you get an engineering degree you can do a lot of stuff.

I am an engineer. I am working as a design engineer for power plants.I earn enough but it doesn't matter. At the time being average payment for my job is more or less $125 US per day. I don't have any idea what do you mean by a lot of money. You may mean indifinite amount.
If you want to an engineer, first you should not think how much you can get. You have to think how much you could contribute.
If you just think of how much you could get, I suggest don't bother to be an engineer. Else you will just be a liability to the organization.
I earn that much but some of the expenses for the good of the plant, I am taking it from my own pocket.
I just feel happy and satisfied when I see those equipments which are the products of my brains are working as I expect.

Engineers make a decent living, but compared to star baseball and football players they make less money. I suspect they make less than brain surgeons.
First you have to decide...."what is a lot of money?"
An engineer applies fundamentals of math and science to solve problems. They generally specialize in a particular discipline such as chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering and so on.
The starting salaries of engineers varies a lot depending upon two things...one is the state of the economy and demand. The other is the discipline and whether you work in the private or public sector. Engineers that work for the government -local, state, or Federal- generally earn less than those that work in the private sector.
If you are willing to go overseas, some engineering disciplines can command very high salaries.
At the end of the day, you need to ask yourself "do you like math?" and do you like science. If the answer is yes then you will be successful at nearly any engineering discipline and make an above average wage.

Computer Engineers, Chemical Engineers,
Software Engineers with a Computer Science degree, Electrical Engineers, and Aerospace Eningeers make lots of money.
Just to name a few.
Computer Science people typically start with about 40-45k a year.
And can make as much as 90k. If they move up.
I say this about computer science because I'm entering my senior year of it.

Median estimation and dependence on the type of Engineering work a person can earn 65,000USD - 100,000+USD. At entry you would probably start with a 35,000USD payroll.

Unfortunate but True. Engineers no more make money.

I am an aerospace engineer... i love my job and thats enough for me... the money is just a perk, and I make plenty of it :)

they earn "greater than the median" amount of money.
your mileage may vary
smarts. effort and personality come into play, but
it's largely ability and results that determine the multiple
