What is a military weapon designer's salary?

Answer 1

I am going to attend the United States Naval Academy and I am going to be a weapons designer. My Naval recruit officer discussed with me that you earn about $25,000 for every design, and $50,000 for every project you work with. If your design is bought by the military, you can get up to 25% of the profit. Meaning if the government buys $2 billion of your design, you can earn 25% of that profit. Weapon designers coming from big military colleges like the Naval Academy or West Point easily get into corporations such as Raytheon and Boeing. These designers usually make between $50,000 a month and $12 million a month.
