yeah they do at UM they have a ME or MS in fire protection engineering

at OK State they have a MS in Fire and Emergency Management Administration

there are quite a few schools with BS's in Fire Protection Engineering and in Emergency Management

There are others that offer MS or ME in fire protection engineering as well WPI, Eastern Kentucky are a couple

John Jay College also offers a MS in Protection Management.

with the shift in focus to Homeland Security there are also schools offering degrees in that now.

That sites pretty lame... I went through all that time it takes and gets all your information, and at the end it wanted to charge me for a stupid report...



Anyhow ... CPE, but more specifically I work on the intertubes ... Comp. Networking

3/7/2007 12:01:01 PM

^^^ I tried that site but i dont think it was worth much since it I think it was only the average of 6 salaries in the area.

3/7/2007 1:22:38 PM

i don't make 30,000/year...
and i (practically) have 3 degrees


YAH for teachers...

3/7/2007 3:54:41 PM

Qualified American teachers would do well (financially) to go and teach in other countries.

Not only would you get a lot more ($30-40K tax free), but you will also get other benefits, such as fully furnished free housing, travel allowance (cash or tickets), health insurance, etc.

(so basically that's equivalent to $60-80K salary in the US)

Not to mention the experience of living in a different country.

I know teachers (in the Middle East) who make $50,000.

3/8/2007 8:59:35 AM

Computer science, but I'm doing finance work (cost estimating) right now.

^ Agreed. Just be sure to do your research and make sure you're working for a reputable firm. I've known a lot of kids who did that and got burned by their employers (in Eastern Asia). Be sure you also know a little bit about how contracts are treated in other countries; some nations aren't as strict about contract interpretations as the United States.

3/15/2007 11:10:41 PM

business management/marketing undergrad
mba - supply chain management

i took an offer with a really awesome startup so it doesn't pay as much, but my base is in the $60-$65k range with some pretty lofty incentives if we get things rolling. it's general management and marketing so it doesn't pay as much as a lot of the mba supply chain jobs do, but i get to stay in raleigh!
