Aerospace pay is good, but it used to be a whole lot better. The salaries definitely haven't kept up with executive pay, even if they're multiples of the regional average. I've got a friend who went into aerospace and bemoans how he's living solidly middle class in a field that used to put you squarely into the top 5% income bracket. Funny to see someone complain about earning a quarter million a year, but when buying a starter home costs twice that...
Oh I make 3 times less than that. But I slack off in a proportionnal manner !
Plenty of slackers in the aerospace industry. Don't let that hold you back.
I will be the slackiest of them all !
