The salary/remuneration for a particular job is the market value for a particular profession and designation at the city/town where the office is located. Job postings at websites like Monster, Yahoo HotJobs and Careerbuilder carry information about salaries. The Govt Dept of Labor, (www.bls.gov) Bureau of statistics has information about median salaries for different professions and details of additional compensation offered. Other online resources are salary.com and payscale. Your salary will also depend on your educational qualification and how you handle your career.

There is more difference within each discipline than there is between them. Your salary depends not just on which branch you go into but upon how good an engineer you are. If you are considering which path to take, take the one you enjoy the most.

It depends on where you want to live. In a rural area, for example, you'd want something like civil or mechanical. If you can live anywhere, then a lot of the computer fields are hot right now.

It is really difficult to quantify but my gut feel tells me that it's MECHANICAL because it is very versatile. At any rate, in terms of shortage, I would guess SOFTWARE - you may get a higher pay because there are more job vacancies than applicants.
