Reply to comment by jamiekyn in Taiwan's TSMC founder says 3nm fab will be built in US by jussulent_tummy

Bro you can work in semi fab with only a high school diploma and still make 70k+ with full benefits. These jobs are definitely sought after. So much money in the semiconductor industry

Hold on, if it's that good then why did these jobs go overseas? These seem like jobs Americans would certainly want, that could have been created by American companies, and that are well complemented by American education.

So much money but backbreaking work...and not that much money if you divide by the hours and overtime

I wouldn’t call it backbreaking. It’s not as physically demanding compared to something like warehouse work, welding, or construction (speaking from experience). But yeah, the hours are rough. Gotta be OK with shift work and possibly overnight… a lot of people love the freedom of only working 3 or 4 days a week though
