    I think he understands the problem considering he mentioned his 200k income at the start of the post.

        Unironically yes. Lots of variation in pay and prestige among different engineering disciplines. Manufacturing engineers are not typically very well paid from what I’ve seen.

        Well you see American manufacturing keeps getting hamstrung by an orange dipshit who thinks he’s saving it

          He’s not trying to save it. He’s simply creating market fluctuations and buying the dip. He creates conditions that cause investors to worry and stock prices to fall, then he buys when the prices are low and finally he announces that the tariffs are being postponed for 90+ days (that is, into the next financial quarter). Stock prices start to rise again and eventually they return to where they started, like it never happened.

          In the meantime, people are losing jobs and their houses, but that’s a small price to pay to make him and his inner circle wealthier.

          We design the stuff here and have it made in China when we want to scale. There’s plenty of manufacturing engineer work, but it’s not in tooling.

            This is an outdated mindset. Design and manufacturing work best together in a tight feedback loop, and China has become perfectly capable of doing their own design work. America has positioned itself to become nothing but a nation of consumers and venture capitalists.
