OP
Thanks Mickey, on a non technical note, you wouldnt happen to be living the good life in sunny Palmdale, not a worry in the world having retired on your lucrative income (without the massive hit a lot of 401ks took) from being an instrument tech? lol.
None of my business of course, just kidding. I guess it depends on cost of living, but 20 dollars an hour still sounds like darn good money to me. I left Cali myself way back in 1990 working at a General Dynamics plant in Pomona making 13.34 an hour doing component level repair on 75k computerized test stations. Thats in a union job after 2 raises.(full bennies and no co-pay in those days) I paid 5-600 dollar rent and these werent really luxury apartments, or that big.
It took at least 500 bucks a month to live in non-gang controlled areas! After paying other bills, I was not exactly rolling in cash.
Maybe Im just getting old but dang, 100k for a cush job in Thailand programming motors to turn off when a limit switch is closed sounds really good! Thats gotta be easier than a lunar landing! Im not married so guys, Im going to become a PLC guru, the ultimate authority on all things PLC or at least convince someone I am! lol.
