It's been a while, but I quit the aerospace industry in 1992 for a lower paying Unix (SunOS) job. Aerospace was hidebound, people refused to do anything new. Not because the new methods were risky, but rather because in 1965 they'd sworn to the Air Force they'd done the best job possible. Anything new put lie to that.

The security requirements were also anxiety inducing to me.

I've missed some me things, but mostly it's been nothing but up since then.



with computers and drone tech, you can get back to "aerospace" for a fraction of the penny as a hobby.
