some other schools, says Shane Sumner.He is the president and chief executiveofficer at Snapper, the lawnmower com-pany. Sumner runs a huge plant inMcDonough, Ga., that is three times asproductive as it was only 10 years ago.

Now, lasers cut the parts. Computerscontrol the steel-stamping presses androbots do the welding. All this happensunder the watchful eyes of trained peo-ple. The end result is a better lawnmower.

If you really want to go places in ad-vanced manufacturing, get an engineer-ing degree. Employers will be fightingover you come graduation, says CynthiaRedwine. She is the director of the CareerResources Center at the University ofMichigan’s School of Engineering.

“We get recruiters from companieslike Boeing, General Electric, Ford, andNorthrop-Grumman,” says Redwine. In2005, mechanical engineering graduatesgot jobs with average starting salaries of$52,150, she says. Stay on for a master'sdegree in manufacturing engineeringand you could start at about $70,000.

Even for an entry-level manufactur-ing worker, the pay is good. Accordingto the federal government’s Bureau ofLabor Statistics, the average hourly wage

for a production worker making trans-portation equipment was over $21 anhour in late 2005. That’s about $43,000 ayear—without overtime.

For someone making computers orelectronic equipment, the average wagewas almost $18 an hour. Steelmakersmake about the same. And it goes upfrom there.

Gain more work experience and con-tinue your education and you may findyourself a production control manager.They make an average of $76,000 peryear. What about a plant manager? Theymake an average of $109,000 per year.Thinking really big? A manufacturing ex-ecutive makes approximately $210,000.

“There are tons of jobs in advancedmanufacturing for those with education,training, and good work ethics,” saysConroy, from Nexen.“And the opportuni-ties to advance are great too. A career inadvanced manufacturing is really some-thing young people should think about.”
