Which one earns more. Mechanical or Industrial Engineering?

I am currently a mechanical engineering major, but I am undecided whether this is what I want to do, I was considering Industrial Engineering, perhaps with an International Affairs minor. I was wondering which one has the most starting and average salary.

Thanks.

Mechanical Engineer.

Salary typically starts at $50k, peaks around $140k as supervisor.

Industrial Engineer starts at about the same.

As an entry-level engineer, you will be limited by the employers’ openings for either type of engineer. If they need a “general” engineer, both will fill the bill.
