<i>I'm considering becoming a computer engineer and i was just wondering how much they make.</i><p>That's like asking "how fast does a car go?" You need to know what kind of car it is, who is driving, what the road conditions are, etc. Computer engineers can make vastly different amounts depending on the company they work for, years of experience, what technologies they know, where they live, etc. I hope they teach her in school about defining requirements.
