I was obviously doing it wrong.
I was in the Army for sixteen+ years, and also worked State and Federal government jobs before hitting the Private Sector where the REAL money is. ;)
Never took home anything more than a GS paycheck. OK, maybe a pen accidentally, or a paper clip. *SNORT*

That will soon all change when all the work goes overseas (something Trump tried to prevent). My son has BS degrees in engineering and computer Science but is underemployed. I have an MS in engineering but was unemployed for 15 months. Your best bet is to attend trade school or find a career in hamburger flipping. Global design for America is to provide services only. All the good jobs are going overseas and Biden is OK with it. I wish college students would realize this fact so as not to be disappointed after graduation. I truly believe that America will soon be done as a significant technical power. It is all done by design so as to keep America on a leash. The people in charge of AMerica have no love for the country. Idealism will be punished. That’s why we have BLM, Antifa, and other unsavory elements, gaining popularity.
