- contrarian1234 1y agosorry, I should have thought about it a bit more. It's likely closer to 2K than 3K. A professor at Taiwan University makes ~3K. My only other point of reference is another friend's husband who works as an electric engineer at a LED manufacturer - making 2K a month. Minimum wage is $1K. Point being.. they're miserable jobs and the salaries are low low low. I get fabs sound fancy, but I'm not super sure anyone should be stoked these kinds of jobs are "coming back" to the US.
- lesuorac 1y agoWhile I am more of the belief that these people are wanting a time with less income equality and conflating that with factory work. There's going to be a bunch of people wanting any job [1] and more in the coming years. So they'd probably cheer a local walmart as much as a local tsmc.

- elcritch 1y agoI've had a number of friends who worked at Micron in Boise at their semi-fabs. Yes boring work, but the pay was decent. Especially for guys just graduating. I think it was like a 4-10 schedule.
