To put this into context, my son, a mechanical engineer, with an education cost over $300k, was hired by the Dept of the Army three years ago. His designs can be seen in many industries today. His starting salary wasn’t much higher than this approved minimum wage. The government will have a hard time finding college educated students with bright minds that will be willing to accept these positions. Adjustments will have to be made to remain competitive and that cost will be passed on to all taxpayers.

Your son should have enlisted and went to OCS if qualifies as an officer 01 pay grade is over $5100 monthly.
