My brother could probably discuss this situation in more detail. When he's doing contract consulting work, computer modeling new parts designs for any of the major automotive manufacturers, he bills out his labor time at the rate of $1,000.00 per day.

Currently, he's heading up an engineering research team at Vanderbilt University that is redesigning the guidance system for several guided missiles deployed by the Air Force and the Navy. The big joke among the team members is "Well, yes this IS rocket science!"

He's also an ASE-certified Master Mechanic who is in the process of restoring a 69 Roadrunner with his son.
