Although, I had an SAE advisor at the University of Illinois who enjoyed driving Ferraris and Porsches while he was teaching engineering....he also consulted for Penske and other racing teams.

I am in the private industry. Gubmit subcontractor for DOE. I make a decent living, but the union guys make a KILLING!! I guess this is true for most unions. Couple year experience pipe fitter or mechanic is >$80k. With over time a lot of these guys pull in >$100k.
