Re: An HP Position is Open in Texas [License Reviewer, Industrial Licens ing Program]
I think in the end its the law of local supply and demand, and also
whether or not it meets your needs. I used to work at Los Alamos, and I
made more money there with a batchelors than I do here with a masters.
Very different environment between a national lab and a state
university. I'm here because the stress level is more manageable, and
that's more important to me than bigger bucks. Is this a Radsafe issue?
I'm new on here, so I'd rather other people decide that. But I think
I'll stop rambling too.
