Michigan is a state committed to its citizens. Its government prides itself on making sure the people have what they need. In more recent history, the state is working to clean up and become more of a “green” place to live; tossing aside that old, dirty, industrial attitude with it.
When most of us think of Michigan, we think of things like Ford Motor Company, the Great Lakes, copper, and the Ford Museum. Michigan is changing though, in October they will hold their first ever coding competition (for mobile apps).
They are moving to a more technological role in our nation.
The average cost of living in Michigan is about 3.5% lower than that of the national average. This means you can expect things to cost around the same amount there as they do in other states.
Like most states with a lower cost of living, the average annual income is also lower, averaging around $44,000 a year.
However, an audio engineer living and working in Michigan can expect an average annual salary of around $77,000 a year. In comparison to some other states, that number is astounding in comparison to the average for the state.

Final Thoughts
Schooling is an ever present thought for those thinking of going into audio engineering or those who just want to obtain a higher degree and are already working in the field.
Michigan does not have many schools for audio engineering. This could prove to be inconvenient for those wishing to attend school close to home, or those already working in the field that do not have time to commute.
