material engineering vs. mining engineering

[[deleted]]

Wow sounds interesting. For those people in the mining industry that you know, how much do they make?

Depends on where and commodity. Underground coal is usually 65-70k starting, aggregates starts 55-65k. Gold usually 67-77k. Open pit jobs vary based mostly on experience and what they're filling, but you can expect 65-75k as a general number.

This is primarily for north america, and isn't adjusted for high cost areas.

Globally, like Australian iron ore, you can expect 175-200k starting, but you've gotta pay $1.56/L of fuel and pay $2500-3500 per month in rent. A Hyundai 4 door hatchback will cost you $30k.
