Manufacturing and applied engineering has changed dramatically over the last couple of decades. The days of an unsafe, dark, dirty, low-wage, low-skill industry are gone and they have been replaced with a dynamic industry of high-performance manufacturing in clean, safe, high-tech facilities throughout the state. In addition, manufacturing careers pay very well. With as little as a certificate or diploma from a technical or community college, you could earn $30,000 per year right out of school with the opportunity to advance to greater than $50,000 per year with continuing education and experience.
