PE - just passed and my company doesn't recognize / require it, so no extra $$
10 years out of school (has it really been that long?) all in manufacturing
Manufacturing, specializing in maintenance practices, PM, PdM, and more recently process engineering with some pretty cool electroplating / plasma processing of materials.
75-80k (in that range depending on profit sharing - variable pay ~5% salary)
I have been looking into switching disciplines / to utility or construction, but pay range they are looking for at most "entry level" spots is 5 years experience and in the 55-65k range.
