is it high value? I know a guy working at a fab in Taiwan and he makes peanuts ($2-3K a month?). It's basically a factory job. From what he said it sounded braindead. TSMC is known for overpaying and having PhDs stare at assembly lines though - so I dunno.
sorry, I should have thought about it a bit more. It's likely closer to 2K than 3K. A professor at Taiwan University makes ~3K. My only other point of reference is another friend's husband who works as an electric engineer at a LED manufacturer - making 2K a month. Minimum wage is $1K. Point being.. they're miserable jobs and the salaries are low low low. I get fabs sound fancy, but I'm not super sure anyone should be stoked these kinds of jobs are "coming back" to the US.
While I am more of the belief that these people are wanting a time with less income equality and conflating that with factory work.
There's going to be a bunch of people wanting any job [1] and more in the coming years. So they'd probably cheer a local walmart as much as a local tsmc.
