Here are some excerpts from an interesting article on opportunities in the wind energy field:
In 2012, there were 3,200 wind tech jobs; by 2022, it is expected to jump to around 4,000.*
"We have the jobs, but we can't find the people," said Ron Widup, CEO of
Irving, Texas-based Shermco Industries, which provides maintenance and
repair services to the wind industry, among others. "There's a
tremendous demand for that classification of technician and engineer." *
"You are coming in as an entry-level job probably $40,000 to $45,000 a
year and with overtime very quickly can get to $60,000 to $80,000," he
said. "Then in a few years it's not uncommon to get to six figures
pretty quickly in this field."*
The school also makes sure the students can handle a critical part of
the job, working a couple of hundred feet off the ground. You can't have
a fear of heights if your career takes you where the wind blows. *
