According to the following sources, an entry-level engineer should be making between $46,000 - $57,000 starting salary.

Since my qualifications are consistent with the highest standards possible for an entry-level position, I would
expect to receive at least $55,000/year or higher.

This would equate to a minimum hourly rate of $26.50/hr.
