Example of a salary calculation with "Systems Engineering Bachelor (UAS)"

A 24-year-old precision optician with a Federal VET Diploma and Federal Vocational Baccalaureate worked for a manufacturer of optical devices in eastern Switzerland for three years after her training, earning around CHF 4,562 per month. She enjoyed the high-precision work with various materials, but the purely manual work did not challenge her enough. She wanted to take on more responsibility in the manufacturing process and contribute to the development of new technologies, so she decided to study systems engineering with a focus on photonics at UAS. She completed her Bachelor's degree in four years while working. In her new job, she can now realize her career aspirations, has her first management tasks and, as a Bachelor of Science UAS in Systems Engineering, majoring in photonics, now earns around CHF 6,637 per month,almost one and a half times their previous salary.She soon recouped the training costs (generally in the region of CHF 4,200-8,000).
