A survey of 2006 indicates that engineers still get top salary offers, but accounting and finance majors are catching up 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. "By and large, the average salary increases which were offered by employers to new college graduates were respectable, and some were even outstanding," Marilyn Mackes, executive director of the National Association of Colleges and Employers said in a statement.
    Topping the list of highest-paid majors were chemical engineers who fetched ＄55,900 on average, followed by electrical engineering majors at ＄52,899. Despite a drop of 0.3 percent, compared to the 2004 to 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 up to the fifth and sixth spots, and succeeded in order by 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.
