$45K for a PhD in aeronautics? That just doesn’t seem right. A literal rocket scientist for $45K?
Believe it. PhD in Chemical with a long history of righting sinking technical ships and making companies tons of $$$...have not had a call back in about a year. Nada, zero, zip, zilch. I am now looking at positions that are 1/3 of my peak salary. I have no intentions of retiring in my mid-50s, but I am starting to think that I have no real choice.
