[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny multiple people have mentioned DoD contractor positions. DH is looking to retire, and the jobs he's seeing are only around $90k. Don't get me wrong, we live fairly frugally and are happy with our standard of living, but I'm curious where this financial disconnect between us and some of his peers is.[/quote] Your dh doesn't have the right qualifications. I've lived amongst this group and people were making more than that decades ago. I made that much 20 some odd years ago working for one of the independent govt agencies. My spouse left the military decades ago and went to work for a contractor being paid that much. Both spouse and I are tech/engineer types.[/quote] Of course, the military is a huge industry with all kinds of field. My spouse is in bio and officer with clearance, and private firms offer more. The officer and soldier class divide is pretty big. [/quote]
