” wouldn’t take anyone who had a wage garnishment for any reason, including child support.”

That's a ridiculous reason not to hire someone.

It is decent money for many positions in Houston as well.

But for a Principal Design/Consulting Engineer with 15 years experience Oil/Gas/Petrochem for Mechanical/Structural/Electrical/Instrument it is too low.

Far to low for Chemical/Process/Petroleum Engineers of significant experience.

And if your company can’t find them, it probably is too low for their needs in Denver as well.

You can get engineers with their degree for $100,000 that can do calculations. Getting some with significant experience to be productive, lead others and not get your company in trouble may cost more.

if I smoke a joint at home to help relieve the pain in my knees from old athletic injuries I don’t pass?

If you need pain relief from injuries, there are far more effective, and most importantly, legal, ways to do it.

If you want to disregard the law for your personal preferences, I don't want you driving heavy equipment or on the road with my company name on the truck.

It isn’t the money but the supply. There simply isn’t that many engineers walking the streets.

Engineers move for more pay. I’ve done it before a couple of times.
