[Wayne]

I worked for Texas Instruments for 17 years (1979-1996) and quit because I was only making $9.50 per hour (the same amount I am making at Wal-Mart). When I quit, I was building electronic circuit boards for Defense Avionics Systems (radar & night-vision systems for military aircraft). There's not much money in the field of Electronics Assembly, unless you're an engineer and that requires a degree or two.

Prior to working in the Defense section of TI, I was assembling discrete components such as diodes and transistors, and testing integrated circuits -- also not very lucrative.
