When I was the Eastern Canada service manager for a computer manufacturing company, I did everything from overseeing assembly and shipping, to evaluation of new products, to troubleshooting issues with compatibility (both in production and from end-users). I routinely turned over my assistants in about 2 years (then they went out and got jobs making $10K more than me after I had trained them). Half of the resumes that I received for the position might qualify as shipper.

Now imagine someone like me applying for a position in aerospace....
