Just because you work in tech doesn’t mean you have to serve a life sentence in Silicon Valley if you don’t want to.
In fact, you don’t even have to work on planet Earth (theoretically speaking). The aerospace industry is doubling down (up?) when it comes to hiring high-end tech talent, targeting future recruits at a very young age.
Due to the ongoing rat race among computer, auto and digital companies to develop autonomous systems and drones (yeah, we saw that drone popcorn delivery, Amazon), companies in aerospace now have to compete with the tech titans of today for top talent, according to the Los Angeles Times. Hungry for workers, aerospace companies have begun to reach out to potential employees—as early as elementary school and pre-kindergarten—to get them interested in science and math.
Fortunately for those of us with more than an adolescent education, you don’t need to be under the age of four to snag a job in aerospace.
On Monster, you’ll find light-years of job listings in the aerospace industry at top companies like Northrop Grumman, United Technologies, BAE Systems, SpaceX and Boeing. Of course, many of the jobs are for aerospace engineers and aerospace technicians. (By the way, the average pay for an aerospace engineer is a sky-rocketing $107,830, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.)
But in engineering, for example, aerospace firms are also looking to recruit industrial engineers, mechanical engineers and electrical engineers as well as traditional tech workers like software developers, network and computer systems administrators and computer systems analysts.
