So I have a project for class where we have to interview some people in the "manufacturing" sector. Now while alot of smaller shops on here might not manufacture but more fabricate or modify cars, it all applies to this project. Basicly I need to sell the manufacturing sector as the best sector for technology jobs. I could just make it up, but I figured there might be something I haven't thought about. I had a major brass company rep as a contact, but I haven't heard anything back so I am a person short. Thanks to anyone that is willing to give some info.
Also when I refer to technology I just mean, software and computer hardware, welders, cnc machines, etc.
