Yeah but if you look at average pay, the floor employees are making around 20hr.

Maybe if you have no schooling or experience, it’s been a competitive job market and w/ just a year or two of experience you can get 30/hr

No you can't. That seems like a pipe dream. I'd love to see some proof of this.

Just go on any job site and look up biotech manufacturing jobs they're all 16-20hr. With most of the jobs implying you need prior experience.

The people adding a screw in during the assembly process on the line are not making 30hr.

Maybe if you go for a specialized position or team lead.

All the jobs I saw that made north of 55k a year required you to have a bachelor degree in one of the following depending on position, Microbiology, Biomedical engineering, Biology, etc.

I'm not saying it couldn't happen, I'm just saying this would be the exception rather than the rule.

Yes you need prior experience or a degree, if you have nothing you get 25/hr. Nobody is turning screws on a line in biotech whatever you’re looking at it isn’t biotech. I’m speaking from experience working biotech in Worcester. Pay ranged from 25-45hr for techs depending on education and experience. Nobody was making 16.

That was just a basic example of a simple task job lol

Indeed doesn't even show one open position for biotech anything in Worcester, nor does ZipRecuriter. I checked a few biotech companies located in Worcester website and they had very few positions open.

We are talking about easily accessible and currently hiring entry level positions or near entry level that pay enough to live in Worcester, that are in abundance that all pay average $25.
