Disabled vet who has been building aerospace and military toys for the last decade. But this year has been rough, 3 layoffs from 3 different aerospace companies in one year is a bit much. I grew up in the space hardware world, but after this year i think its time to look somewhere else.
Good friend built rocket engines for NASA, came into the chemical and refining industry, check the oil industry out, energy will be a big boon in US. The old cajun
Where are you located? I work in the electrical power generating business. There is always a demand for skilled labor in this industry. There are some local college 2 year programs specifically set up to provide qualified applicants for these type of jobs. Check out something like this Chattanooga State TVA just hired the entire last class.
I worked in manufacturing for 18 years and finally had enough of the slow downs, layoffs, economy dictating orders, etc. and went back to school for my nursing degree. I love the many areas you can get into that's related to nursing and as a male, every position I've applied for has hired me. Two years of school and if you're with the VA, it's just that much better. Good luck!
