    american dollars? this is an irish forum, if you are more interested in what they are paying in america then go to an american forum and find out cos it may be slightly different to here.

    www.careerdirections.ie gives good descriptions.

    American grads start on 50k a year, at the least the ones I know did, in avonics.

    I was offered $42k when I left college 3.5 years ago. I'm sure the rates have gone up since.
