I dunno the US but in EU(rope) there's lots of jobs in automotive and industry, think WW, Porsche, Siemens, Bosch.

They pay decent but beware "the death of a career" projects assuming you started one in the first place. There's a non-flattering saying among us about work at these companies: "two weeks to move two bits" :P

So maybe there's an US equivalent for this, I dunno.
