Do you know what career combines high-demand, high-pay, and high-tech? You might be surprised to learn that it is manufacturing and applied engineering.

There are great jobs out there in manufacturing for machinists, welders, technicians and engineers. The work is challenging, fun and high tech and the pay and benefits are outstanding (most will earn $40,000 - $55,000 this year).

Did you know that not enough people are going to a 2 or 4 year college to get the education needed for a manufacturing career? Not even close. There are many more job openings than graduates, so the employment potential is outstanding. The employment outlook only gets better over the next five to ten years as baby boomers retire in droves.
