They did in my case! My father worked there at the time and they were desperate for help managing the PC’s in their research departments. I was consulting at the time and just happened to fit the bill. Pure luck on my part.

Good paying salaries have attracted a pool of ppl that do this as a job. The best engineers I have seen do this as a lifestyle.

This is also very true. I do what I do because I can’t imagine doing anything else. The thought of manual labor terrifies me. I also am pretty much always ‘working’, in that I’m constantly thinking about new problems/solutions and studying new technology. I’ll stop when my heart does.
