Basic meant having about 4 years of experience doing some level of mechanical work and knowledge. Most of what you learned on the job was pretty much a new experience, and most likely out of the ordinary anyway. Some of the senior Engineers were making upwards of $75K to $100K per year.
My last job (a Senior Design Engineer for a large company) fit right into the middle of the salary ranges noted for Senior Engineers. I make less now but have much more fun working at SPC Racing.

I'm an Electrical Engineer working for an MEP design firm in Vegas and I can tell you its bad out here. A lot of guys/gals moved out of state to find work. I know at least 5 ME's out of work right now that are trying to stay in town, and a bunch more EE's.

I've seen all sorts of degreed M and E engineers right out of school and they cant find jobs at all. I've had some offer to work for just for the experience. No one wants to train, especially in this economy.

On topic: Patiently waiting.....
