Mike, oil related engineers are in high demand. They need the degree though.
The associates will get him a job as an engineering tech at $40k per year.
A petroleum engineer, or pipeline design engineer makes $250k.
Just sayin'....
In addition, the US defense industry, both on the government side and contractor side, is in dire need of young engineers and mathematicians - applied mathematics, mechanical, electrical, chemical, biological, etc., preferably with a BS - who are actually US citizens and have a clean record, and can therefore obtain a security clearance.
But I'm talking about a real 4-year engineering degree here - not one of those funky on-line "technology" degrees..
