Ok, thats a more reasonable number for the job they preform. I read the earlier comment as if they were making 20-25k a year. I could make more at McD's.

Seems a smidge high for a 2 year degree especially when you get paid OT.
Have you met a graduate of the electrician/welding programs? Engineering Technologist programs? They make that kind of dough, if not more depending on their other qualities. Demand determines wage, not necessarily years in school.
