I'm graduating in May with a Mechanical Engineering degree. I am looking to get a job within the firearms industry. I also am interested in companies that produce outdoor gear, accessories, knives etc. My dilemma, and need for input, is that I want to live in the western half of America. I really want to be in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, or Colorado. I've been going to the SHOT show Exhibitor's websites, to see where they're located, and have a small list going (its depressing and surprising how many are located in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Illinois, or some other blue leaning state). I thought I would post here to see if anyone had any tips for me.
I have interest in high speed photography and reverse engineering, though design work and process (manufacturing) doesn't bother me either. I've read on here that the firearms industry isn't a good one to be in, and about not turning a hobby into work. Right now I'm just trying to explore all options and see where they lead.
Any input is welcome.
