Reply to comment by volvogiff7kmmr in The average Aerospace salary is between $70k and $160k per year, based on salary reports of more than 500 aerospace professionals by Siglave

One of my friend's boyfriend is a computer engineer at SpaceX, and he had to work 80hr weeks alternating day/night shifts for $80kish in California. Granted, almost no one in tech is quite as horrible as Elon Musk when it comes to treatment of employees, but it can happen. I don't know how big of a field aerospace outside of defense contractors though, so I do have a data gap there.
