I consider information regarding biomechanics oriented job opportunities,
job pay, and educational opportunities very relevant professional
information. Not everyone on the list is in a steady job, and requests for
information about working conditions/benefits, etc are important for these
people who have spent a lot of time and money and are trying to find the
best place to apply their skills.
Bill Vannah has brought up a good concern regarding informing those
interested in biomechanical related careers that a graduate biomechanics
degree does not necessarily equal a great paying job, and that the job pool
is made up strongly of research type jobs that traditionally pay less than
industrial/commercial positions. How many graduate students do you think
are trying to get a master's so that they can get a job making $16-$19 K
per year? I didn't.
If someone feels they or their organization has been misrepresented, then I
also think its important for them to provide information to the contrary.
And would say that they system seems to be working. A request was made
for information, it was provided, mistakes were pointed out, apologies were
made, and the flame marks will fade with time....
