<p>Of course, I will tell about the engineering profession from the view of defense contractors and INTEL agencies. Jobs supporting the government INTEL agencies are secure because let’s face it…and this may sound “morbid”, but if any knowledge of terrorists in some foreign nation PRODUCES some new contract centered on that group. As long as the USA has “beef” with other nations, the INTEL agencies will stay in business and will need the help of the defense contractors.</p>
<p>And back to the engineer pay…As I have said before, it’s not ONLY the pay that I like engineering but I also like the job security. Although I complain, I have to say that I like when a bunch of recruiters are trying to hire me.</p>
