Job market in Atlanta

I've been offered a job in the Atlanta area, but as I come from southern AL (50 miles north of Mobile), I am used to a fairly depressed economy and wage scale.



I was wondering if any of you could give me insight into the job market in the Atlanta area (southern). What is a fair wage?



My experience is sheetmetal and some structural fabrication for the past 10 years. I've been operating CAD software for the past 9 years starting with FastCAD, then progressing to AutoCAD LT. We made the move to SWX about 3



1/2 years ago. I believe that I am proficient with most aspects of the software (of course, there is always something more to learn).

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I don't have any kind of a degree, but have been doing the same type of work as an engineer for about the last 5 years. All of my training has been OJT and has ranged from machine design, including specing drive components, to creating drawings and shop documents for the shop to work from.

I know that there are many variables that play into the answer to my question.

Thank for the input, Leo

Don't underestimate the traffic when making housing decisions. Commuting across Atlanta can take 10+ hours a week out of your life.
