Does any one know where I might find 5 or 6 Degreed ME's with a FEA
background in Aerospace or Defense? Project Location is Huntsville AL.

Need to be US citizens with a clean record so we can process a SECRET
CLEARANCE

Annual Salary is 75-80K
15 years experience with analysis skill, NASTRAN, PATRAN and Hand
Calcs.

Or 4-5 years experience for 35-40K

Will be working on next generation Helicopters for ARMY. Very Cool
Secret Stuff.

Please let me know

Sincerely
Kurtis

What, experience with living off the land? Will that buy a
double-wide down there?

Gee, that's not much over a decent starting salary.

Damn,

That is funny. Is this post a joke? I could 35-40K as a manager at
McDonald's. I have never seen anything so absolutely ridiculous in my
entire life. The engineers I work with would look at that salary and laugh.

Both salaries seem quite low for the skill requirements.

However, whether engineers would laugh or cry depends on how long they have
been out of work.

Yes, it is that bad out there? I was making 35K in 1988. Hmm, I'm not
making *that* much more now. My income has fallen to its 1996 level.
Of course, moving to Florida and taking whatever I could find had a
lot to do with the change. It took me a while to convince the company
that I work for now that I really wanted to be an engineer. I'd been a
manager or director for years and my resume reeked non-contributor
though I was a *working* manager.

Whoo boy. Secret stuff.

The Army Research Office funded my education at one of the three (at
that time) Rotorcraft Centers of Excellence.
