If youâve ever flipped a light switch, commuted to work or had an MRI, credit electrical engineers for improving your life. Electrical engineers design components that make power plants, cars, medical devices and computers run. Their role in consumer electronics gives electrical engineers many responsibilities. People who can handle the jobâs scientific rigors earn above-average incomes. The median annual salary for electrical engineers was $85,920 as of May 2011, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
