Do You Believe This?

85K is kinda low for management, isn't it? Well, I admit I don't know about engineering salaries but if you managed an IT shop you'd get 110K minimum. 150K+ if you worked in NYC.

For a quality manager, it is quite high. They are the lowest of the low engineers.

Holy Mackerel! Good find.

At college, nobody would ever want to be caught dead at the ASQ meetings(American Society for Quality) and I never understood why till I started working. In most engineering companies, the quality guys are usually not considered as real engineers. So 85k per year is buttload of money for a quality manager.

Who wouldn't want to sleep naked with a wrinkled woman in her 50s?

Women in their 50's aren't all wrinkled - just ask the lovely VW.

Agreed. Some are quite well preserved, others not so much.

Genetics, Diet and Exercise have something to do with it.

You guys sure do know how to mess up a perfectly good talking point with nuance.

Isn't VJ an equal opportunities type of message board? Making fun of over 50's ladies is not very gentlemanly either...I wonder if the taste of over 50's ladies in interior decor runs on french brothel lines? Certainly Barbara Cartland was a fan

There are so many thoughts buried in those four sentences, give me a week to digest please.

Only one week mind - and no burping!

Yes'm.

I was told today that one must not do this on a date, so I second that emotion.

QA is the stepchild of the engineering family. many QA people have an AE or less.

myself, i have additional certifications including AWS SCWI, ASNT L2 VT/UT/MT/PT/RT, ASME (various), IWE, well i'm boring you. i also have GTAW/SMAW/FCAW certs, and experience with ASTM, aussie, and DNT code. i am also a steel castings expert, and am versed in 1st and 2nd world manufacturing and machining practice. most of the time i spent working with the BSE guys was involved in telling them what could be done, what had been done, and what should be done. most of them were just CAD operators with a piece of paper, but some of them were really good. of course, this was in an industry that specialised in large scale slow speed rotating, for which there is no specific code, only industry standard. i am certified to inspect everything from a nuke sub to a swingset. most "real engineers" i know just have pictures of swingests in their cubes.

so, the best QA engineers have wider experience than any design engineer, though less ability to manipulate complex mathematical formulae. this is why a good one is paid more than most BSE. on a nuke refurb, would you want anything less?
