For most electrical engineers, salaries and work styles are similar. As of May 2015, the average annual salary for an electrical engineering graduate is $93,010 full-time (17-2071??). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, most electrical engineers work in an indoor office and typically only leave if there is a problem to observe or equipment to observe. Additionally, outside these boundaries lies a wide range of specific areas within the specialty. According to Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering by Charles A. Gross, there are 39 different fields in electrical engineering and they all constitute their own society. These societies come together to form the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers, “the largest professional society in the world, with a current membership of more than 300,000” (Gross
