Weekly Career Discussion Thread (06 Jan 2025)
I have a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering from a pretty good school in Canada. I also serve in the American Military (National Guard) and posses a Secret Level (not Top Secret) Security Clearance. I have about ten years of fabrication experience (operating CNC machines and welding) as well as design and manufacturing (Solidworks, CAD / CAM, designing processes, etc.).
Doing some cursory googling, it seems like I could be making six figures fairly easily. My problem is that I live in an area without a very robust manufacturing industry and I have found myself in a "technician" position that only pays about $64k. First and foremost, I really like my job and my employer. They have been very gracious with my military obligations and taught me a lot, but I feel that I have outgrown the position. Despite my clearance and experience I am making about 2/3 of the engineers at the company that are fresh out of college. I have held onto my position because I work in the R&D department and really appreciate the variety and flexibility, while the engineering department seems to be mismanaged and has a very high turnover rate.
I suppose I am looking for validation that, yes, I could be making more money. I would also like to hear what industries other engineers with clearances are working in, besides the obvious Lockheed-type defense contractors. I would also like to know some good parts of the country to start looking to move to. Ultimately it would be cool if somebody could go "hey man, look at X types of companies in Y part of the country." Also needs to be USA, I am a dual-citizen but I cannot live in Canada while I am still enlisted. -
