Sure dude, I certainly believe that.

I’ve had 5 positions open in NY/PA/OH area in the engineering field for over 30 days that pay between $60-$110k range to start. I’ve only had 1 applicant. Crazy

“the engineering field.” You know, you can just swap out civil engineers, software engineers, mechanical engineers, electronics engineers (hey, I have a federal license for that), automotive engineers, &c. They’re really all the same job.

If someone was really offering $60,000 for “the engineering field” I would be all over that today.

My VA Disability is way better than unemployment insurance (which is taxed from wages … I had to pay that even when I was in the Navy), and still sux compared to $60,000. That’s about three times what I have now.
