Well, my son was an MM, and he really liked his rate and the job he did, he now being out of the navy has found that he is the HIGHEST paid of the 3 rates from the nuclear field. He works in at a chemical plant now and only being there 3 months now, is making $31.05 an hour, while those that were in the electrical field only make about $17 an hour...he was WAY SHOCKED! Plus those that can do his job get way more overtime, as mechanical stuff breaks more often than electrical! Most of those he works with now were all nukes in the navy!
